Celtics 89, Nets 70NEWARK, N.J.—Paul Pierce scored 11 of his 24 points in the third quarter, enabling the Boston Celtics to pull away from the shorthanded Nets for an 89-70 win. The victory extends Boston's winning streak to four. The Nets, despite playing without Deron Williams (ribs) and Kris Humphries (shoulder) managed to hang with Boston during a sloppy first half, leading the contest 35-34 at the break. Boston's offense awoke from its slumber in the third quarter with 29 points, thanks to Pierce and Brandon Bass who added 15 points and 13 rebounds off the bench. MarShon Brooks led the Nets in his first career start with 17, but left the game with a sprained left ankle early in the fourth quarter. With this latest setback, the Nets have now lost six straight games. |
