 ap 2008-11-15  Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce, left, and Rajon Rondo, right, lay in pain after colliding into each other as they defended Milwaukee Bucks' Dan Gadzuric in overtime of an NBA basketball game Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008, in Milwaukee. Celtics won in overtime 102-97.

 

Ray Allen's four free throws in overtime helped vault the Celtics past the Bucks 102-97. Allen finished with 27 points, while Paul Pierce led the C's with 28. Pierce and Allen combined to hit 23 of 24 free throws, including 6-for-6 in OT. It was the trips to the charity stripe that saved the Celtics tonight, as they seemingly couldn't buy a hoop in the first couple of minutes of the overtime period. While this was their 8th game in 12 days, and was a big win, coming off of Friday's loss, it should be mentioned that the Bucks were without Michael Redd and Charlie Villanueva, who are both injured. But, a win is a win is a win.
