Pistons churn out a win at the Garden

Well, Sunday chalked up a loss for the C's 105-95 with nothing really standing out for Boston. They were outscored in the second and final half leading inevitably to another home loss. Pierce did however put up 26, Ray Allen put up 10 and Rondo 8 with 6 assists and boards. The only real gem in this game was Glenn Davis, who, starting in place of an injured Garnett and Scalabrine, contributed with 18 points in 35 minutes. He managed to pull down 6 rebounds, 3 assists and even a steal, proving he has the ability to pull the load of one of the teams most valuable players. Leon Powe had a decent game, putting up 11 points, and 5 boards in 16 minutes. The bigger story here, other than the Garnett injury, is the recent aquisition of Stephon Marbury, who, in Sundays game, went 0 for 3 with no points and 3 assists in 16 minutes. It was a tough loss, and exposed the Celtics' vulnerability with the lack of the Big 3 in full force, but the young guys continue to step up and play hard. What is to be said about Marbury is unknown at this point, and we can only hope he gets back into his rythm to provide the necessary spark off the bench Boston has been searching for.
