Boston Celtics

Big matchup

This Kendrick Perkins-Dwight Howard matchup is getting good. Howard just took it at Perkins and drew a foul at the 4:46 mark in the third. He missed both free throws and has just seven points.

Perkins has five points and nine rebounds for the Celtics. He just swatted a Jameer Nelson offering into press row, not far from where Globe sports editor Joe Sullivan is sitting.
