Two weeks after making his Dallas Mavericks debut, Rondo put up a season-high 29 points to help his new to team in a 119-101 win over the Boston Celtics. Rondo cemented his legacy as one of the great point guards in Celtics history during his nine-plus seasons there. He played a key role in Bostons NBA Championship in 2008 and finished fourth in franchise history in assists and third in steals after being dealt to Dallas in a four-player swap on Dec. 18. In between the first and second quarters, a montage shown on the video board at TD Garden was followed by a prolonged standing ovation that nearly brought the four-time All-Star to tears. I just tried to stay focused, said Rondo. I just wanted to stay locked in and listen to the coaches in the huddle, then go out and say thank you to the fans. I wasnt too keyed in on the video. I watched a couple glimpses, but I was trying to stay focused. The touching tribute came after Rondo hung 15 first-quarter points on his former team, including three 3-pointers and a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor. His third triple came just moments before the opening period came to a close with Dallas in front, 31-17. Rondo again connected from deep durinng a 7-3 run to start the second.

Im emotionally tired, Im physically tired. Im drained. Avery Bradley led four Celtics in double figures with 22 points. Tyler Zeller posted 17 points and 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the season. We had some tough possessions that didnt go our way, and then we had some bad errors, said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. Game Notes Boston has lost five of six ...
