For a team that has been so challenged to win this season, earning back-to-back victories is something to celebrate for the Golden State Warriors.

Especially against opponents the caliber of Phoenix and Boston.

Monta Ellis scored 37 points and converted two free throws with 2.3 seconds left, and the Warriors rallied from an early 18-point deficit to hand the Celtics just their second two-game losing streak this season with a 103-99 victory Monday night.

“It was a wonderful game for us,” coach Don Nelson said. “Wins are hard to find anyway, especially against two quality teams in a row.”

Anthony Randolph added 18 points and nine rebounds and scored six straight during an 8-2 run late in the third quarter to put the Warriors ahead. C.J. Watson had six of his career-high seven steals in the second quarter, matching the Warriors’ record for a quarter, and also contributed 11 points and seven assists.

Turiaf, however, had a good rehab workout before Wednesday’s game. He’s cautious because he’s made similar progress at times since he was injured Oct. 30, but has backtracked the following day – feeling pain both inside and outside the knee.
