With an alley-oop lob to Kevin Garnett on Friday night at TD Garden, Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo broke Bob Cousy's single-season franchise record by registering his 716th assist. Rondo entered Friday's game against the Houston Rockets one assist shy of the 50-year-old mark and tied Cousy's 1959-60 total by setting up a 3-pointer by Paul Pierce 90 seconds in. With 8:45 to play in the first quarter, Rondo lobbed a perfect feed to Garnett from the top of the key, and the easy slam established the new mark.
