NBA: Celtics off to best home start in 23 years

Associated Press

BOSTON — Kevin Garnett scored 23 points and the Boston Celtics improved to 10-0 at home with a 112-84 win over the Toronto Raptors tonight.

Paul Pierce had 18 points and Ray Allen 13 for Boston (16-2), which is off to the NBA's best start and its best home mark since opening the 1984-85 season 12-0.

The Celtics broke it open early. Boston has won all but one of its home games by double digits so far — eight by 20 points or more.

None of the Celtics' starters played the final quarter or saw 30 minutes of action.
