The Boston Celtics, led by Rajon Rondo's fifth triple-double of the year, beat the visiting Miami Heat 91-72 Sunday afternoon according to CBS Sports.
The Miami Heat, normally one of the most offensively efficient teams in the NBA, struggled from the field, shooting only 34.8 percent.
The Celtics are riding a post-All Star period that has seen them surge to the top of the Atlantic Division and win seven of their last ten games (ESPN).
In addition to Rondo's triple-double, Boston got 23 points from their captain, Paul Pierce. Lebron James led the way for the Heat, also scoring 23 points. This loss means that the Heat have dropped seven of their last ten on the road.
"It's definitely a string of issues on the road," James said. "We've got to be more mentally tough."
