Richardson snaps Celtics winning streak


BOSTON – Jason Richardson and the Phoenix Suns snap Boston Celtics winning streak at six games with a 110-103 victory on Friday night at TD Garden.

This is Richardson’s most productive game with 34 points and 10 rebounds after he went 0-for-4 in a loss to the Orlando Magic, his third game after suspended by the NBA for drunken driving charges. He finished the game 6-for-7 from the 3-point stripe.

The Sun’s ended the Celtics three game winning streak against them.

Steve Nash contributed 16 points and 12 assists for the Suns. He hit a 3-pointer with 51 seconds remaining with Boston cutting down an 11-point lead to four points.

Kevin Garnett led the Celtics with a season-high 26 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. This is his most offensive night after missing the latter part of the 2008-2009 regular season and the playoffs after injuring his right knee.

The loss snaps the Celtics’ 12-game regular-season home wining streak since last season.

Ray Allen and Paul Pierce each scored 16 points for the Celtics. Rasheed Wallace was limited to only eight points, missing all of six 3-point attempts in the game.
