The Boston Celtics were short-handed, weary and lacking energy following a difficult stretch of games when Kevin Garnett leveled an elbow into Eduardo Najera's face.
The intimidation attempt didn't work against the Charlotte Bobcats.
"I just told him he hits like my grandma," Najera said.

Jeremy Lin went full Linsanity on the Celtics, setting a new season-high with 25 points on 10-0f-15 shooting.

Lin made life especially difficult for Celtics rookie Marcus Smart, who shot at least one glare in the guard’s direction. “I thought Jeremy Lin killed us the whole night,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens told reporters after the game. “But I thought he was really effective in a lot of ways — not only scoring the ball, but also getting into the paint and making plays for others.”

Now that they have Amir Johnson who I think is criminally underrated, there defense is just sick it's taken a little drop recently because of the loss of Marcus Smart but its still really good. I think Boston is the only team in the east that averages more points then us as well.
