Glen Davis stepped up down the stretch, scoring 15 of his 19 points in the final 10 minutes of the Celtics’ 103-84 contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night in Boston.  He took an elbow to the head in the third quarter and was taken in for stitches.  Until then he had only contributed with 2 points for the C’s.

“I was just ready to win, just tried to push the lead up as much as possible because we were supposed to blow these guys out,” said Davis. “Luckily I got this in the head and it sparked something in me for some odd reason.”

The win put the Celtics ahead of the Orlando Magic for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.  They remain five games behind Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers with just seven to play. Paul Pierce led Boston in scoring with 27, and Eddie House and Ray Allen followed up with 16 and 14. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant led Oklahoma City with 23 and 21 points.  After being outscored 32-16 in the fourth quarter, the result marked their fifth loss in their last 6 games.

The Celtics will next host the Charlotte Bobcats this Wednesday April 1st at 7:30 pm.  Boston Celtics tickets are still available

You never want to blow a 3 goal lead but when you are playing one of the top teams in the league, you’ll take it. The playoff bound Chicago Blackhawks did just that on Wednesday night with a 6-5 OT shoot-out win over the San Jose Sharks.  The Blackhawks blew a 4-1 lead before fighting their way back, eventually winning with shoot-out goals by Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. 

Chicago came out strong in the 1st period, building a 3-1 lead on goals by Havlat, Byfuglien, and Ladd.  By the end of the 2nd period things were tighter as the Sharks pulled within a goal at 4-3.  The back and forth would continue in the 3rd period with the Sharks’ Joe Thornton tying the game at 5-5 with just over two minutes left in regulation.

The win for the Blackhawks left them alone in 4th place in the Western Conference and 2nd place in the division.  The playoff starved Blackhawks are certainly looking forward to making a run at the Stanley Cup this year. Chicago Blackhawks playoff tickets are now available.
