Pierce pays tribute

Paul Pierce loved the atmosphere at the Garden tonight, but he would have changed one thing.

“The only thing I wish is that Red [Auerbach] would have been here,” said Pierce. “You know he would have loved to be here and see us try to turn this thing around. But it was a great atmosphere. You know hopefully it can be like that for 40 more games and the guys are going to enjoy it, and we are going to enjoy this journey.”
