BOSTON (AP) - Rajon Rondo scored 12 of his season high-matching 18 points in the third quarter and the Boston Celtics rebounded from a two-game skid with a 109-95 win over the short-handed Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
Paul Pierce, who missed a day of practice with a sore left knee, scored 19 on 7-of-12 shooting. Playing without a wrap on the knee, Pierce made a key 3-pointer after the Celtics went on a 12-0 third-quarter run to take control.
The Warriors had just nine players in uniform and eight played. Kelenna Azubuike, Ronny Turiaf and Andris Biedrins were sidelined with injuries. C.J. Wilson has the flu and was not with the team.
Corey Maggette led Golden State with 23 points, and Monta Ellis
had 18.
