Associated PressPublished: 1/3/2008 12:12 AM
Kevin Garnett scored 11 of his 26 points in the last seven minutes on Wednesday night, and added 9 rebounds to help the Boston Celtics beat the Houston Rockets 97-93 and earn their seventh consecutive victory.
Paul Pierce scored 19 points and assisted on four key baskets down the stretch as the Celtics improved to 27-3 to match the best 30-game start in the shot-clock era. Five other teams have lost just three of their first 30 games, including the 1995-96 Bulls who finished the season with an NBA-record 72 wins.
Yao Ming had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Rockets, who were without Tracy McGrady for the fourth consecutive game because of a sore left knee.
