Boston Celtics

Tied, 54-54 (8:34, 3rd quarter)

And just like that the crowd is back into it.

Rajon Rondo found Ray Allen for a lay-up, and Paul Pierce drained a three as the Celtics cut the lead to 50-48 on the first two plays coming out of halftime.

The teams traded buckets for a bit, and Kevin Garnett fouled an Allen miss with putback to tie the game, 54-54.

Timeout, Detroit.
