The Celtics didn’t exactly blow Indiana away in the second, but still have a 57-51 lead.
Ray Allen looked flat out awesome in the first half, scoring 19 points (6 of 10) and going 3 for 3 from the line. He also played 20 minutes, which probably is a bit much for Doc Rivers’ liking. Allen was open constantly around the perimeter. At one point, he even passed up a wide open 3-pointer and hit Kendrick Perkins for an easy layup. Allen has been playing well but the guy needs to rest.
Boston gave up 51 points in the first. Indiana’s shooting 46.8 percent too. Not horrific, but not up to their standards.
Whoa, almost forgot. Rajon Rondo is on the verge of a triple double. He has 10 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds at the half.
Be back in a few.
