Any good Celtics fan will want to grab the tape. And when you do, here are some of the highlights:Paul Pierce making a lefthanded block and retrieval of a Kobe Bryant jumper to send Ray Allen off for two free throws after a fast-break foul; Pierce's ferocious and positively Baylorish up-and-under drive for a 3-point play; Eddie House rifling a no-look pass to James Posey for a layup; P.J. Brown's emphatic quarter-ending dunk on a great Pierce feed over Kobe (you should have heard my normally businesslike colleague, Marc Spears, yell "Boom!"); House's in-your-face, go-ahead right corner jumper; Allen's acrobatic, Dr. J-like baseline reverse drive; Kevin Garnett's right-to-left stroll into the lane for a jumper that caressed the rim tenderly before gently falling through the net; Posey's nerveless left corner three to make it 92-87 with 1:13 left; and Allen's isolation abuse of Sasha Vujacic, when he made a late right-to-left cut after seeing 7-foot Pau Gasol coming, switching to the left hand, and thus using the rim as an ally to prevent Gasol from blocking his shot.
