"Three Key Celtics Beat Up But OK"- By James

"MIAMI -- Three Boston Celtics starters battled injuries in the Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday night, though none appears serious enough to jeopardize the players' availability for Saturday's Game 3."


Captain Paul Pierce suffered strained left Achilles, Ray Allen got a bruised chest, and Rajon Rondo had back pain throughout the game. The injuries didn't seem a problem so the players would rest up and get back on the court. The injured players were taken to the locker room o seek treatment. Rondo wore a wrap on his lower back to keep his back from tightening.

"Rondo finished with a team-high 20 points on 7-of-16 shooting with 12 assists and six rebounds in 41:42. According to ESPN Stats and Info, it was the eighth career playoff game that he's scored 20-plus points and had 10-plus assists."

Paul Pierce finished the game with 13 points and 5 rebounds.
