Paul Pierce stood tall in the absence of Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, scoring 29 points, passing out 14 assists and doing what he does best, hit the big shot to sink the Orlando Magic 102-98 in Boston Wednesday night.
In Ish Smith and Chris Duhon, the Orlando Magic don't have great options behind Jameer Nelson at point guard. Though Smith's numbers indicate he's not as great as Magic fans seem to think he is, the time for coach Stan Van Gundy to bench Duhon in Smith's favor is long overdue.
Celtics hold off Magic 102-98. Paul Pierce scores 29 points along with 14 assists.
