Sports Redux: B's, Bergeron Get 2 More From Road

For the second straight game, the Boston Bruins needed overtime to secure a road victory. For the second straight game, Patrice Bergeron delivered with a game-winning score. Bergeron, who buried a shootout chance and Atlanta on Thursday, beat Buffalo's Ryan Miller 0:47 into overtime, thanks to Zdeno Chara and Marco Sturm, to lift the Bruins to a 2-1 win.

Milan Lucic tied the game at 1-1 with his first goal since April 2, according to NESN. Byron Bitz combined with Lucic and Tuukka Rask, who got his first career assist, on the end-to-end highlight-reel rush. Lucic and Bitz, a pair that had a solid outing, couldn't score on a similar play in the third. Rask had 25 saves.

Orlando picked up where they left off with Boston, rolling up a 29-13 lead after one quarter. The Celtics, who seemed to be oblivious to the very idea of a first quarter, turned the game upside down with a 27-14 surge in the second. Half: Orlando 43, Boston 40. The Celtics kept pace in the second half but lost 83-78 to Orlando. Vince Carter led everyone with 26 points. Dwight Howard had 15 rebounds.

Paul Pierce paced the C's with 21. Ray Allen added 15 points and six assists. Rajon Rondo was satanically inspired with six points, six rebounds and six assists.

One issue on the minds of Celtics fans was how Kevin Garnett would fare against Orlando since he sat out the playoff series Boston lost to the Magic in the spring. Garnett's not 100% yet but still contributed 13 points and 11 rebounds in the loss.

The Celtics next face the Knicks, 76ers and Toronto Raptors. They are a combined 12-22 so far. Do not despair.

Verbal sparring is building between New York and Boston as the Jets and Patriots get ready for Sunday. Randy Moss both engaged and dismissed nemesis-in-waiting Darelle Revis all at once. Moss said of comments by Revis

”I don’t feed into talking and all that crazy stuff. I’m a 12-year vet. So that stuff don’t bother me. My biggest thing is, when you talk like that, you better back it up. So, we’ll see. We’ll see what goes down.”

For some reason, the Herald also decided to highlight Patriots' losing streaks this week. Thanks, guys. The team suffered one of the most grating losses of the Bill Belichick era and is in an almost must-win game against a bitter rival Sunday and this is the time you remind us of the team's mortality? Did the Herald hire Dan Shaughnessy for the week?

Bostonist likes to know the rules to anything we do, and not just so we can know which ones to break. We thought the rule governing MLB free agency was that the most money wins. When Tony Massarotti offered to explain the real rules, well, we were filled with gratitude. Tony's first rule is "Believe half of what you read and less of what you hear." If Bostonist doesn't know which part to believe, Tony, why would we read any further?
