The newcomer Bogut got tested hard on his first game for the Celtics. His matchup was none other than three time defensive player of the year Dwight Howard. Let the stats speak on how he did on his first outing:
Bogut: Pts 12 Reb 10 (3 O) AST 3 STL 2 BLK 3 TO 0 FG 6/7
Howard: Pts 9 Reb 12 (3 O) AST 1 STL 0 BLK 3 TO 2 FG 4/6
It was a fierce battle in the post and Bogut most definetly held his own doing exaclty what was expected from him. The man that pushed The Celtics to their 4th seasonal win though was Paul Pierce ... yet again, with 27 points.
The Celtic also offered a 2 year contract extension to Kevin Garnett, feeling that he still has enough in him for one or two championship runs.
