Leon Powe and the Boston Celtics ended the Houston Rockets 22 game win streak in a 94-74 routing in Houston. Leon Powe was clearly the player of the game in this one, scoring 21 points in 20 minuets. Us Leon Powe fans were not surprised by this performance. TNT commentator Doug Collins kept saying, "no one would have ever thought Leon Powe would be the leading scorer in the first half." Well Doug, I'd like to say some of us saw it coming.
Once AGAIN, Leon showed if given the playing time he will produce and play big. If Leon would have gotten 48 minuets he would have scored 50 at the pace he was scoring at. On top of it Powe was getting hacked and couldn't get a foul called. But still Leon was able to have a legendary game.
I don't know about everyone else, but I thought after Leon hit that jump shot he was going to give the Michael Jordan shrug. The shrug that you give when you just can't miss or be stopped. It was one of those nights for Leon. Hopefully after seeing a game like this, Doc will wake up and give Leon the minuets he's earned.

Greatest player in the NBA!
I love this site. It's nice to see Leon getting the credit he deserves.
I think you've mentioned this before but Leon Powe for most improved player!
Leon is coming through with one
POWErful game after another! You've gotta love his relentless
work on the boards, and his over-
all game is really improving.
Celtic Glen,
It's always good to see people notice what Leon Powe does for the Celtics. He's only going to get better. I pray they keep him around for years to come.
