Jerebko required four stitches near his lip after Boston's 120-109 win, according to Celtics PR, but did not believe Harden meant to hit him with the fourth-quarter forearm. "I got hit in the face," Jerebko said. "But it wasn't intentional or anything." Harden struck Jerebko with an elbow while trying to drive to the hoop midway through the fourth quarter. The contact came as Harden tried to spin away from two other Boston defenders. After falling to the floor with blood gushing from his face. "It didn't hurt," he said. "It was just bleeding so I had to go (get it bandaged)." The way he played in just his third start of the season, Jerebko likely would have closed out the game. Over 21 minutes, he recorded seven points, seven rebounds, a team-high plus-11, and did not miss any of his three field goal attempts. His ability to slide his feet at that size is critical against the Rockets offense, and, moments before taking the elbow, Jerebko made a great drive and kick for an open Isaiah Thomas triple. "He's always ready to do his job," said teammate Jae Crowder, who pitched in 23 points. "I can say that about him. He's a true professional and once he gets the nod at a starting position he knows exactly what he's in there to do. It helps us a lot." "Energy. For sure he's giving us energy," Crowder added. "Of course he can make shots. We know that. He can stretch the floor but we just needed energy and he gave us all that and some more tonight." --
