BOSTON (AP) - Paul Pierce scored 19 points and Ray Allen broke
out of a seven-quarter scoring drought with 16 points to help
Boston beat Cleveland 89-73 on Thursday night and take a 2-0 lead
in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Kevin Garnett added 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Celtics.

One game after going 2-for-18 from the field and missing his
last six shots, including a layup to tie the game with 8.5 seconds
left, LeBron James missed his first three tries and finished with
21 points on 6-for-24 shooting.

The Cavaliers shot 35.6 percent in the game, hitting just 11.8
percent in the second quarter as Boston turned an eight-point
deficit into a nine-point lead.

Game 3 is Saturday night in Cleveland.
