Celtics, 25-15 (1)
Good start for the Celtics.
Both teams began the game with horrendous shooting, but the Cavs haven’t really improved at all. Cleveland shot just 21 percent in the first quarter. After starting the game 0 for 7, the Celtics are up to 55 percent shooting for the game.
The biggest culprit for the Cavs? Wally Szczerbiak, who is 0 for 5.
Kevin Garnett is leading the Celtics with 12 points and 3 rebounds.
Kind of a weird phenomenon, but the Celtics have not scored with Paul Pierce on the floor. They scored their first basket just after Pierce was replaced by James Posey around the 8:00 mark.
