The Boston Celtics ( 13 - 23 ) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans ( 18 - 19 ) 108 - 100 on Monday at the TD Garden in Boston . After coming out of the third quarter down 76 - 72 , the Celtics did n't look to be in the best of positions . With a huge fourth quarter though , where the Celtics out - scored the Pelicans 36 - 24 , they were able to secure the eight point victory at home in front of their home crowd . The Celtics forced the Pelicans into 18 turnovers , while committing only 11 of their own , which may have been the difference in this game . The Celtics received most of their production from their forward position , as Jae Crowder and Jared Sullinger both had strong performances . Sullinger led the team , scoring 27 points ( 9 - 17 FG , 1 - 4 3Pt , 8 - 9 FT ) and grabbing 10 rebounds in 32 minutes . The 27 points were a season - high for him , while it marked his second double - double in as many games . Crowder on the other hand posted 22 points ( 9 - 14 FG , 2 - 4 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) , three assists , four steals and two blocks . While the 22 points were a season - high for him , so were the blocks and steals , as he was a huge contributor on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball Monday . The Celtics did receive plenty of help from their bench as well . Marcus Thornton had 13 points ( 2 - 8 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 8 - 9 FT ) in only 14 minutes , while Brandon Bass had 12 points ( 4 - 10 FG , 1 - 2 3Pt , 3 - 3 FT ) in 23 minutes . Both Avery Bradley and Evan Turner also reached double figures with 10 points apiece . Despite the loss , the Pelicans received another huge performance from Anthony Davis . Davis went 10 - for - 23 from the floor to score 34 points , while also adding nine rebounds and three blocked shots . He was able to get to the line at will in this game , converting on 14 - of - 15 free throws . He 's had the hot hand lately , averaging 29 points and 10 rebounds per game over his last three outings . Eric Gordon had arguably his best game of the season , going 7 - for - 12 from the field and 3 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 21 points . It was a season - high in points for him , as he 's dealt with injuries for a large portion of the year . Coming off the bench with Gordon back in the starting lineup , Tyreke Evans still had a strong showing . He chipped in with 19 points ( 7 - 15 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 4 - 6 FT ) and eight rebounds , playing just under 35 minutes because Jrue Holiday was forced from the game after only 15 minutes with a right ankle injury . The Celtics ' next game will be at home against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday , while the Pelicans will be on the road against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday .
