The Celtics victory over the Seattle Supersonics last night improved their record to 2-0 on their first West Coast trip of the season. Seattle had 19 points and 8 assists from Delonte West, and 14 points from Wally Szczerbiak, including 2-4 from international waters.
But the hosts could not contain Paul Pierce, who had 37 points, including 5-7 from beyond the arc. I was expecting former West Coast Conference All-Stars Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to light it up on this trip. But so far it has been Pierce, a California native, who has benefitted from the warmer weather. Two nights ago, Pierce scored 16 points, making 75% of his three-pointers in the win over Sacramento.
Saturday night the Celtics visit Utah, who is 10-2 at home, but are only 3-7 over their last 10 games, and play the Lakers tonight. The Cs then close out the West Coast trip on Sunday, against the dreaded Purple, who have won 8 of their last 10 games, and are threating to crack this Blogger's Top Five.
