Celtics, 14-10 (4:16, 1st quarter)
Just good basketball so far from the Celtics.
The C’s forced the Pistons to miss first five shots from the floor. On the other end, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have 5 points apiece for the Celtics, while Kevin Garnett has 4.
Allen is doing the little things. He took it to the basket and earned a trip to the line on one end, and he drew an offensive foul on Rasheed Wallace on the other.
Wallace picked up a technical foul at the 7:18 mark in the quarter after saying something to an official. The foul itself wasn’t a big deal, but it gets the fans on Wallace’s back a little bit. The crowd is looking for a villain (ala Mike Bibby in the Atlanta series), and Wallace is slowing becoming that guy.
