Owner Real Deal Posted November 24, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21111542.jpg BOSTON -- The Oklahoma City Thunder might have thought they had Paul Pierce bottled up. Then he broke through with 22 second-half points. "Paul Pierce is one of the more crafty guys in this league," Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said after the Boston Celtics beat the Thunder 108-100 on Friday night. "You don't think he can get around you, but he gets around you. You don't think he can get the shot off, but he gets it off. He just has a knack for making the right play." Pierce scored 22 of his 27 points after the half, and the Celtics snapped a two-game losing streak by beating the defending Western Conference champions. Kevin Garnett had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Celtics, and Rajon Rondo had 16 assists and eight rebounds. Kevin Durant scored 29 points for Oklahoma City, which trailed by 14 before cutting the lead to three points with under 2 minutes remaining. But Durant missed a 3-pointer that could have tied it, and the Celtics pulled away. "Oh, man, it felt good," Durant said. "It left my hand, it was online. I'd take that shot 10 out of 10 times. I shot it well. Unfortunately, it just bounced out." Russell Westbrook had 26 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, and Serge Ibaka added 17 points and 13 rebounds for the Thunder, who lost for just the second time in their last 10 games.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121123_OKC@BOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
