Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce were both nominated for the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the week from February 4 to February 10. The honor went to Miami's LeBron James.
Rajon Rondo was a nominee on two separate occasions earlier in the year but did not get the honor.
Both Garnett and Pierce were vital to the Celtics' three-win week. The span included wins in Toronto, at home against the Lakers and last night's thrilling victory over the Nuggets.
In the three games, Garnett averaged 20.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 block. He also shot 50.0% from the floor and tallied two double-doubles.
Pierce averaged 21.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists, shot 39.6%, tallied double-double last Wednesday and a triple-double last night.
