Boston evened the score at 81-81 with 2:37 remaining after trailing the majority of the game. Both teams took turns with the lead, but Rajon Rondo put Boston up for good when he nailed a three-pointer from the right elbow with 25-seconds remaining. Detroit held an eight-point edge (22-14) after the first quarter of play and built it up to 15 at the half. The Celtics put up 27 points in each the third and fourth quarters and held the Pistons to 14 in the final period for their come back win. Ryan Gomes pulled Boston even with 2:37 remaining in the game at 81-81. Gerald Green gave Boston the lead at the 2:03 mark on a goaltending field goal. Detroit's Cheikh Samb knotted the score at 83-83 on a field goal with 1:48 remaining. Alex Acker drained two free throws to give the Pistons their final lead, 85-83, at the 58-second mark. The lead was short-lived as Rondo's three swung the momentum to Boston in the final seconds. Gerald Green gave Boston a three-point lead when he connected on both of his free throws with four-seconds left. Allan Ray led all scorers with his 26 points (9-18 FG, 6-6 FT) in victory. Green threw down 22 and was followed by double-digit efforts from Rondo (14) and Akin Akingbala (10). Detroit had five players break double-figures with Mateen Cleeves (5-8 FG, 5-6 FT) and Jason Maxiell (4-14 FG, 9-12 FT) each contributing 17 points. Alex Acker knocked down 16, while Samb and Amir Johnson had 10 each. For the game, Boston shot 41.9% (31-74 FG) to Detroit's 42.6% (29-68 FG). The Celtics offense was greatly helped in the second half when the team made 52.8% of its shots. </div> Box: http://www.vegassummerleague.com/box_score.cfm?game=87 Looks like Telfair didn't play, and Gomes isn't listed with minutes despite being mentioned in the recap.
If either Rondo or Telfair end up not being traded, id like to see what they can do while there in the game at the same time. Since they both played well in the summer league

Since they both played well in the summer league</div> I don't see this ever happening. When it comes to the team right now, there is just no way these two end up on the floor together. Pierce, Wally, and Green are probably going to be taking too many minutes combined at the two for these players to be on the floor at once. Not to mention that you're basically handing points to the other team, just on size alone, if you run that backcourt.
