The game was tied at 38 when Tinsley fouled Pierce. Pierce quickly turned toward Tinsley, but kept his cool. Suddenly awakened, Pierce even did push-ups between free throws to taunt Tinsley and the crowd. "I was just trying to blow off some steam, get my head back,'' he said. "That's all.'' Boston coach Doc Rivers took advantage of the situation. "Clearly, they lit a fire under Paul,'' Rivers said. "He thought the play was not a clean play. Got him upset, and as a coach, you've got to make a decision. Sometimes there, we went to (isolations) for Paul right away after that, and my read was if he gets going because of that, then we ride him (不曉得有沒有coach是像Doc這樣的,好奇) --Ray Allen picked up where Pierce left off. Scoreless in the first half, Allen had 15 of his 17 points in the third quarter. The Celtics led by as many as 16 in the period and took a 76-65 edge into the fourth quarter. "I pick and choose my moments, and that's how the game shifted,'' Allen said. "As a scorer, you just allow the game to come to you, and you find your spots.'' "You saw me last year,'' Rivers said. "Did it look like we were having a lot of fun? Winning means fun. They are a terrific team,'' Indiana coach Jim O'Brien said. "I think they will surprise a lot of people with how good a defensive team they are. They're big, rangy and have excellent quickness.'' (O'Brien又見面了) --
