Boston Herald: Hotshot Allen, Celtics get their groove back

By Mark Murphy

“I told Ray, ‘I’m going to try and get you the ball,’ ” said Paul Pierce [stats], whose evening of trading in shots (3-of-11) for doing the little things (12 points, five assists, eight rebounds) provided a nice backdrop to Allen and Kevin Garnett (26 points, seven rebounds).


In truth they haven’t had a healthy Rondo since late last month, when he first injured the hamstring during a Dec. 30 game in Utah, and their offense has suffered as a result.


“That’s going to be a good team in the Western Conference. You’ve got to respect them,” said Pierce. “Regardless of their age.”
