Brandon Bass stringing together solid performances

Celtics forward Brandon Bass scored in double figures for the third game in a row Wednesday, in a 100-94 loss to the Suns.

Bass scored 18 points on 7 of 12 shooting and played 30-plus minutes for the first time in two weeks in the loss. He added eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal, though he also turned the ball over three times in 33 minutes.

Bass has remained a solid contributor for the Celtics all season long, and is in the midst of arguably his best month yet. He is averaging 12.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in seven February appearances.
