Paul Pierce lead the Boston Celtics with 17 points to trashed the Toronto Raptors, 106-90, in their preseason game at XL Center, Hartford, Connecticut.
It was also a sort of homecoming for Ray Allen who used to play for UConn at this center. His former UConn coach Jim Calhoun is in attendance to watch the game. Ray Allen scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds, and feeds four assists.
Kevin Garnett was also in his element by scoring 16 points to offset Raptor's Chris Bosh 21 points. Garnett received an alley-oop play for a dunk from Rajon Rondo with 5:12 to play in the first quarter. The Boston Celtics bench and coaching staff have an anxious moment late in the 2nd quarter when Garnett was hit on the right calf off a Bosh steal. He smacked on the floor holding his knees. He stayed in the game after that moment.
