In addition to Kevin Garnett's potential farewell to Boston, something else highly unusual occurred at the TD Garden last night. Isaiah Thomas Thomas dished out 12 assists, while Evan Turner distributed another 10 of his own.When they both had nine midway through the fourth quarter, I began to wonder how rare it was to see a pair of teammates each record double-digit assists in the same game. I posed the question to two of my favorite stats guys, former colleague Adam Lowenstein, and Celtics radio play-by-play man Sean Grande:
@StatsAdam @SeanGrandePBP preemptive question? How long has it been since the C's had 2 guys with double-digit assists in a game?

They each responded with the answer. It hadn't happened in more than 18 years:

Last time the Celtics had two players with 10+ assists?
