"Many things ruined Paul Pierce's evening last night. His seven turnovers, which pushed his fumble total up to 13 over the last two games, had to top the list.

He was on the floor for the last 3:42 of a 12-0 Cleveland run that wiped out an 11-point Celtics lead and replaced it with an 88-87 Cavaliers win.

It wasn't a healthy way for the Celtics captain and his teammates to end a four-game win streak, or to drop back under .500. But in a rare fit of pique, Pierce chose to question coach Doc Rivers' decision that left him on the bench until that last 3:42."
