The Truth and the Big Ticket

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, who formed two of the Celtics new Big Three along with Ray Allen, celebrated Boston extending its win streak to 11 games with a road victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. The trio led the Celtics to their 17th NBA World Championship title in 2008 and took the team to the 2010 NBA Finals, where they once again faced Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Unlike 2008, Bryant and the Lakers emerged victorious in 2010.
