Celtics-Cavs Game Highlights and After-thoughts

If you have missed the game, like me, here is the highlights (ESPN).

Two after-thoughts.

It seems that Ray Allen's legs are tied towards the end of regulation, as he missed two free-flows uncharacteristicly (he has played 44 minutes up to that point). I guess his sore ankle, hurt in previous game, also making it difficult to play the long minutes. Given the Celtics' bench is thin in guard-position due to injury, let's keep monitoring how coach Doc Rivers will handle Allen's playing time tomorrow against the Knicks.

It is reported that LeBron James has been talking trash with Paul Pierce the entire second half. After LeBron James misses an 'in his face' attempt to end the regulation, he becomes more focus and asserts his dominance during OT. I know that it is only November, but Paul Pierce and his team will remember this loss.

Both teams will meet two more times during regular season, including the one coming this weekend (Dec. 2, local time) at home. I can almost sense that the Celtics will do anything for revenge.
