Lead is 11. Both Harris and Pierce are back on the floor so neither appears to be hurt. they made it an official time out and gave the 20 back to the mavs. Mavs miss and Raef rebounds. Greene, Raef, Gomes, PP, Al on the floor. Raef hits a 3 and lead is 8. Shot clock violation. Great defense by Celts on that trip down. Al hits a hook shot in the lane off a feed from PP. Terry hits a 3. Pierce misses a 3 at the buzzer. Lead at the end of 3 is 9.

Q at the turn:
The Celtics responded and got it down to six!!!!!
I like this lineup Doc put in there Gomes, LaFrentz, Pierce, Green, and Jeff.
It merits a 4th qtr look.
Only concern is Pierce's energy level.
This can still be a game.

Looks like it came down to fouls and FTs. Bos 30 to Dal's 15 fouls and Bos 14 to Dal's 43 FTA.

Celtics gave it a whirl in the 4th qtr behind Jefferson's hot shooting and low post moves. They also played good defense and made Dallas work hard to hold that Home Court.
Unfortunately, Pierce and RD ran out of energy and the Mavs took over, forcing turnovers, blocking shots (Diop goaltended on one of Raef's blocks - we could have used those two points.
Lack of experience and chemistry ended up being our downfall again, but at least the effort was better and I have to give it for Dallas who may have finally put it all together this year.
Question to Cleveland - Why did you give up on Desagna Diop? He looks like he can be a thoroughly dominating Center in this league.

Looks like it came down to fouls and FTs. Bos 30 to Dal's 15 fouls and Bos 14 to Dal's 43 FTA. I knew the disparity was bad but I did not realize it was that bad. Pierce and RD were getting constantly hammered with no call. Dallas got the benefit of home cooking from the zebra's.
