11/19/09 TRIVIA

Who is the all time Celtic leader for most consecutive games in which they scored at least 30 points and number of games he did it in?

On March 8, 2006, Pierce extended his franchise-record streak of 30-point games at 8.

Almost correct the Player is right but 8 is wrong.

beat,

I have found a reference to the record being 12 in that same year, 2006. I have found much, much more that agrees with the number 8 as being the record.

In the 2005-06 NBA season, Pierce had the highest points-per-shot average among the top 30 scorers in the league, indicating that he is an efficient and consistent player. On March 8th, 2006 Paul Pierce extended his franchise-record streak of 30-point games at 8. His scoring streak was anything but a one-man showboating effort. On March 7, he scored 10 points in overtime to beat the Washington Wizards, and the next night the Celtics eked out a victory against Philadelphia on the strength of two late-game improbable shots by Pierce, one a three pointer, the other an off-balance "buzzer-beater" for the win. He scored at least 30 points for the 13th time in 14 games (between February 4 and March 12), the best such stretch in Celtics history. He has six career triple-doubles, the most recent on March 8, 2006.

I stand by my initial answer, 8. Most of the stuff I found even lists the same date. Any site that said 12 didn't elaborate in any way.

Hey, I could still could be wrong. I just haven't found anything conclusive enough to change my answer.
