I got a little scared when the game started out 13-2 in Cleveland's favor, but in the back of my mind I always thought the Celtics were going to win. In the first quarter it looked as if LeBron and Shaq were going to be unstoppable, but Shaq disappeared in the second half only scoring 2 points. (He scored 10 in the game) Paul Pierce scored 23 points, Ray Allen 16, Kevin Garnett 13, Rasheed had 12, and Rajon had 10 assists, but the bench may have been the most impressive unit last night. When they were in the Celtics didn't miss a beat. Marquis Daniels (He also has a tattoo on his arm with a guy blowing his brains out with a shotgun and pulling the trigger with his toe, that says only the strong survive) did an excellent job defending and gelling with the second unit, he finished with 7 points, and 2 assists. But when it came down to the end of the game Paul Pierce became the truth and made two crucial jumpers and two free throws in the final 1:03. As for the minutes with the big three it was Ray (42), Pierce (38) and KG (33). It was necessary to win this game, but I hope it doesn't become a trend.
Final thought:
I believe this was a measuring stick in the East on how good Boston actually is. Cleveland won its first 24 games at home, but now they start 0-1.
