The Golden State Warriors may not have won this evening but it wasn't for the lack of effort. This was a full forty-minute game.

Ray Allen scored 25 points, Rajon Rondo had a season-high 22 and the Boston Celtics overcame a 14-point, third-quarter deficit in a 119-111 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.

Paul Pierce had 21 points, six rebounds and five assists. Kevin Garnett added 21 points and 13 rebounds for Boston, which won its sixth consecutive game.

Rondo, was on fire tonight and largely the leader of the Celtics comeback this evening. He added eight rebounds and seven assists, running the Celtics' offense to a season-high point effort.

Corey Maggette paced the Warriors with a season-high 32 points and Stephen Jackson had 30. Golden State lost its fourth straight.
