The Boston Celtics have a high-profile, nationally-televised match-up with the Eastern Conference leading and defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night. However, the team isn't quite viewing this as a measuring stick just yet.

Gerald Green has been producing for the Celtics in the last two games he has played.

Exactly one week following the Boston Celtics’ epic overtime win in Memphis on the strength of Isaiah Thomas’ 44 points, the Celtics were able to outlast the Grizzlies Tuesday night at the TD Garden 113-103.

Thomas’ individual performance was much different this time around, as Mike Conley’s replacement – Andrew Harrison, was able to use his length to disrupt Thomas’ offensive flow, and force Thomas into the teeth of the NBA’s top-ranked defense.

Conley – who is having a career-year at the age of 29 – was held out due to a toe injury.

Thomas – who was just honored with the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week Award – ended up coming through in the fourth quarter with nine points on 5-5 shooting from the free throw line when the game mattered most.
