Celtics @ Cavaliers Stat Pack



*The Celtics’ longest losing streak since the beginning of the 2007-08 season is 6 games.
–The last time the Celtics lost more than 6 games in a row: their 18-game streak in January and February 2007.

*As expected, the Celtics are bad on defense without Kevin Garnett this season.
–The Celtics are more than 7 points worse per 100 defensive possessions with Garnett on the bench.
–The Celtics defensive rebounding percentage is 4.3% worse with Garnett on the bench.
–However, the Celtics are 2.9 points better per 100 offensive possessions with Garnett on the bench.

*On Tuesday, Jeff Green got his 2nd double-double as a Boston Celtic.
–Via Jessica Camerato: That was Jeff Green’s first double-double since April 11, 2011. He started that game with Jermaine O’Neal, Big Baby, Wafer, Delonte West vs. the Wizards.
–In addition, for only the 2nd time in his career, Green put up at least 10 points and 10 rebounds with more than 5 assists.

*Tomorrow’s birthday boy: Luke Walton will turn age 33 on March 28.

*Recent Meetings: Celtics vs. Cavaliers
–Since LeBron has left Cleveland, the Cavaliers have yet to beat the Celtics in 2 consecutive games.

*Milestone Watch:

–All-Time NBA Three-Pointers Made–
4. Jason Terry 1,897
5. Chauncey Billups 1,810
6. Paul Pierce 1,807                        (Pierce needs 3 to tie Billups for 6th place)
