ESPN's Celtics Box Scores

[GreenBlood_PH]

Has anyone noticed that ESPN's Box scores on Paul Pierce for the last 3 games don't tally?

They all look fine to me...what do you mean by tally?

Thank you for your reply.

The way I understand the Box Score of ESPN on the last game against the Spurs for example:

        7 Field Goals Made @ 2 points each = 14
Plus    2 3 Points Made    @ 3 points each =  6
Plus    2 Free Throws Made @ 1 point each  =  2

The total should be                        = 22

But the Box Score only shows               = 18

Sorry if this is a dumb point to make, I'm not a big Basketball Fan but I am a huge Celtics Fan since I went to Boston College in the 80's.

the 7 field goals include the 2-3 pointers.
so : 5*2+2*3+2*1=18

"3-pointers" is included in "field goals made"
meaning Pierce made 5 "2-pointers" and 2 "3-pointers" last night
therefore 2 "3-pointers" made should be additional 2 points

14 + 2 + 2 = 18
or
10 + 6 + 2 = 18

the 3 pointers are included on the field goals.

he had two three pointers, and 5 two point field goals.  10 points for the 2 pointers, 6 points for the 2 threes, and two points for his two free throws.  18 points.

welcome to the forums.  have a tommy point!
