It’s a record-setting evening in Boston
BOSTON — Rajon Rondo scored 18 of his 26 points in the third quarter to help the Boston Celtics tie a franchise record with their 18th consecutive victory, beating the New York Knicks, 124-105, Sunday night.
The win improved Boston’s record to 26-2, matching the NBA mark for the best start by a team with two losses. New York did it in 1969-70 and Philadelphia in 1966-67. The Celtics can break the record at home against the 76ers on Tuesday night.
Boston’s 1981-82 team also won 18 in a row.
The Celtics said forward Glen Davis was injured Sunday in an automobile accident. He was taken to a local hospital and was released.
