Indiana Pacers 87, Boston Celtics 74

Found January 07, 2012 on Celtics Locker:
PLAYERS: Ray Allen,  Kevin Garnett,  Rajon Rondo,  Paul Pierce
TEAMS: Indiana Pacers,  Boston Celtics

Ae
The Celtics really laid an egg last night as they only scored 25 points in the first half.  The Celtics only shot 39.4% from the floor last night and they were outrebounded 47-36, which helped do them in.  Ray Allen led the way for the Celtics in this game with 23 points and 3 rebounds.  Kevin Garnett (12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) and Rajon Rondo (11 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals) also had solid games for the Celtics last night.  Paul Pierce only shot 3 of 17 from the floor in this game, but he still finished up with 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.  The Celtics are now 4-4 on the season.

Ray Allen expected to play tonight against Indiana

Via State Of The Celtics  |  January 06, 2012
No surprise here. Allen will be needed more tonight than he would have on Wednesday against New Jersey. Hopefully his sick day didn't cool off his shooting touch at all. The man's been a machine all year long and the Celtics could really use another off-the-charts performance from him tonight.
