Celtics, 24-15 (9:06, 2nd quarter)
The Celtics started the second quarter with a lineup of Eddie House, Ray Allen, P.J. Brown, Leon Powe, and James Posey. They were promptly called for a 24-second violation.
The turnover got Doc Rivers to go to his bench, where Paul Pierce came in for Allen. Pierce promptly nailed a jumper on the next possession.
The Celtics are plus-10 points with Pierce on the floor so far. He’s carrying them.
James Posey is guarding LeBron James at the moment, and he’s getting help from Leon Powe, who is showing on picks and not allowing James to turn the corner.
