Ray Allen drained six 3-pointers and scored a season-high 31 points. Kevin Garnett had season highs of 26 points and 14 rebounds. But the numbers most responsible for Boston's 10th consecutive win belonged to Rajon Rondo.
The emerging star point guard registered a triple-double Wednesday with 16 points, a season-high 13 rebounds and a career-high 17 assists as the Celtics avenged one of their two losses with a 114-96 home victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins scored 16 points apiece for the Celtics, who have won a staggering 16 of 17 since their loss at Indiana just over a month ago. Up next is Portland, which visits on Friday.
