Notebook: Celtics 98, Jazz 93

THE FACTS: Paul Pierce scored 23 points, as the Celtics overcame an injury to All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo to defeat the Utah Jazz 98-93 for their third straight victory. Rondo exited the game in the third quarter after rolling his right ankle on a layup attempt, but the Celtics bench picked up the slack in his absence. Leandro Barbosa and Jeff Green keyed the second unit with 16 points each, as Boston reserves combined to score 47 of the team's 96 points during the hard fought win. Paul Millsap posted 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Jazz, as they dropped to 1-5 on the road.
