BOSTON -- Nothing could stop Bostons Jared Sullinger on Friday night. Jose Ramirez Jersey . Not a bruised left hand. Not the dislocated index finger on his right. And certainly not the Sacramento Kings. Sullinger scored 14 of his career-high 31 points in the fourth quarter, igniting a 15-0 surge that sent the Celtics to a 99-89 victory over the Kings and their longest winning streak in more than two months. Sullinger, who also pulled down 16 rebounds, hit just four of his first 10 shots from the field, but the second-year centre drained 10 of his final 14 as Boston closed the game on a 25-15 run. "I think he feels better every day," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. "Fair or unfair, thats who we need him to be. And so thats the opportunity in front of him. "Im not saying that you have to get a double-double every day, but hes darn near capable of that." Jerryd Bayless added 19 points and Jeff Green had 17 for the Celtics, who won their third straight game for the first time since Dec. 3-8. And they did it without their starting backcourt. Rajon Rondo (soreness) and Avery Bradley (ankle) both sat out, allowing Bayless and rookie Phil Pressey to run the offence. But it was Sullinger who helped overcome their absence. The 6-foot-9, 280-pound inside force scored in nearly every way imaginable during his remarkable run in the fourth. He scored on layups, a dunk, a foul shot, a 3-pointer and capped his memorable performance with a nifty turnaround fadeaway on the baseline that kept Boston on top by 14 with 3 minutes to play. "I just went out and played my game," said Sullinger, who had season-ending back surgery last year. "I have been doing it for the last couple of games and just have been letting it go." DeMarcus Cousins led the Kings with 31 points and 16 rebounds, but was on the sideline for much of Bostons final push. He went to the bench late in the third with the Celtics up by three, and by the time he returned 4:10 into the fourth, Bostons lead had ballooned to 11. "I dont think I came in focused tonight," Cousins said. "There were some outside things that strike me tonight, so I blame myself for tonights loss." Isaiah Thomas had 24 points and Derrick Williams had 11 points and 12 boards for the Kings, who had won two straight. Sullinger actually heated up in the third, stringing together six straight points during a 10-0 run that handed the Celtics a 59-52 lead midway through the quarter. Boston came out firing in the fourth, opening an early 11-point lead on the heels of two 3-pointers from Bayless, who also displayed his defensive skills when he hustled back on a break to block a wide-open layup by Ben McLemore with 7:45 to play. "Just try and make plays. When you play well together, things work out," Bayless said. "It takes time for people to jell and right now you can see we are starting to jell a bit." Bayless block only sparked the Celtics -- Sullinger in particular -- further. He followed the swat with a rebound and putback, delivered a three-point play, hit a 3 and added the fadeaway to help preserve the lead. "Tip your hat to Jared Sullinger," Sacramento coach Michael Malone said. "He came out and dominated us tonight." Rondo had played in eight games since missing nearly a year with a torn ACL, and the four-time All Star has been rounding into form, averaging 13.5 points, 10.5 assists, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in Bostons last two games. Sacramento was missing one of its top threats as well. Rudy Gay, averaging 20.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, sat out with an illness. NOTES: Boston C Vitor Faverani (knee) and Sacramento G Marcus Thornton (hip) also did not play. . Cousins was averaging 25 points and 13 rebounds over his last two games. He scored 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the first quarter Friday. . Sacramento lost its sixth straight in Boston. . Boston shot 45.5 per cent (40 of 8 in the opening half, while Sacramento shot 35.6 per cent (31 of 87). . Thomas and Bayless got into a scuffle with 5:11 remaining, and both players had to be separated by teammates and referees. . Bradley has missed six of the last eight games with a sprained right ankle. Andrew Miller Jersey . As deep as their roster is, they need their superstar. Rose scored 23 points in his return from a five-game absence due to back pain, and Chicago hung on to beat the struggling Atlanta Hawks 90-79 on Monday. Michael Brantley Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have fired receivers coach Ike Hilliard. http://www.indiansteamproshop.com/Indians-Bj-Upton-Kids-Jersey/ .com) - The Boston Bruins announced Monday that the team has signed goaltender Niklas Svedberg to a one-year contract.Knoxville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Hoping to improve on a seven-game win streak, the 19th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks will hit the road to take on the Tennessee Volunteers in an SEC clash at Thompson-Boling Arena on Tuesday. Arkansas has taken seven consecutive decisions to improve to 13-2 on the season, which includes a 2-0 mark in conference play. The Razorbacks have won consecutive SEC games against Georgia (79-75) and Vanderbilt (82-70). Tennessee wont be an easy out in Knoxville. The Volunteers may be coming off a 56-38 loss to Alabama, but the team owns a 7-1 record at Thompson-Boling Arena this season. Overall, the Vols are 9-5 on the 2014-15 campaign. Tennessee owns an 18-14 all-time series lead over Arkansas. The two SEC programs met just once on the floor last season, which saw Tennessee come away with an 81-74 victory in Knoxville. Both Arkansas and Vanderbilt played well offensively on Saturday, as the Razorbacks netted 47 percent of their field goal tries in the contest, while the Commodores hit on 52 percent of their attempts. But an incredibly strong performance from Bobby Portis made a huge difference in the win for Arkansas. Portis scored 32 points in the win, and grabbed 11 rebounds for the double- double to pace the team. Michael Qualls added 20 points, and Jacorey Williams chipped in with 10 points in the winning effort. Rashad Madden helped out too with a team-best six assists. Arkansas has not only dominated its opponents this season en route to the 13-2 record, but the team has been aggressively strong statistically in the SEC standingss. Matt Belisle Jersey. The Razorbacks are first in the conference in scoring offense (83.9 ppg), and second in both field goal percentage (47.1 percent) and 3-point field goal percentage (38.9 percent). Portis leads Arkansas and the SEC in individual scoring at 18.1 ppg, and is fifth in the conference and first on his team in rebounding with 7.8 boards per outing. Madden also checks in at first on Arkansas and is second in the SEC with 5.3 apg. Qualls adds in 15.8 ppg for the Razorbacks to round out the double-digit team scorers. Meanwhile for Tennessee, the teams last outing was about as dismal as could be. The Volunteers shot just 20.8 percent from the floor in the second half against Alabama, which included an 0-of-8 mark from 3-point distance in the frame. Overall, the Vols shot 31.1 percent from the field and 2-of-17 from beyond the arc, which added up to just 14 second-half points in the loss. Josh Richardson was the lone bright spot for Tennessee, netting 17 points on 6- of-13 shooting. Armani Moore grabbed nine rebounds to lead the team, and finished second in scoring with eight points. Richardson has stayed relatively consistent all season long, and leads Tennessee and checks in at fourth in the SEC in scoring at 16.1 ppg. Kevin Punter is the only other Volunteers player, however, to own a double-digit scoring mark with 10.2 ppg. Tennessee enters the Tuesday clash netting 63.9 ppg, which is second to last in the conference behind only Mississippi State. The Volunteers are holding opponents to just 62.4 ppg this season on 41.1 percent shooting.
