Celtics 100, Nets 75
Nate Robinson scored 21 points to go with six rebounds and six assists as a late addition to the starting lineup, leading the Boston Celtics to their seventh consecutive victory, a 100-75 win at New Jersey on Sunday.
Robinson started in place of NBA assist leader Rajon Rondo, who was a late scratch because of a lingering hamstring injury. Robinson didn't disappoint, shooting 8-for-12 from the field and hitting both of his 3-point attempts.
Glen Davis added 16 points and nine rebounds off the bench, Kevin Garnett had 13 points and 14 rebounds, and Ray Allen added 13 points for Boston.
The Nets (6-15) kept things close in the first quarter, getting within 27-25 after one, but the Celtics (16-4) started the second quarter on a 21-4 run and didn't allow New Jersey to close the gap.
Point guard Devin Harris returned to the lineup for New Jersey after missing the past two games with a knee injury, but he scored just seven points in 24 minutes. Backup Jordan Farmar led the Nets with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, and Anthony Morrow and Derrick Favors added 10 apiece.
The Celtics shot 50 percent from the field (39-for-77) despite making just three of 15 shots from 3-point range.
