The Celtics only shot 39.1% from the floor which was a big reason for the loss last night.  Paul Pierce led the way for the Celtics with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Mickeal Pietrus (14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 blocked shot), Kevin Garnett (12 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 blocked shot), Jermaine O’Neal (12 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Rajon Rondo (12 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal) also pitched in for the Celtics last night.  The Celtics are now a very disappointing 4-8 on the season.
