F Kevin Garnett played just 15 minutes of the first half after collecting his third foul with 3:11 to go in the second quarter. He also shot just 2-of-10 from the field and had four points and one rebound at halftime. Garnett finished with 16 points and six rebounds. ... G-F Paul Pierce was called for a questionable offensive foul late in the third quarter. "I was a little upset at the call, but hey, I knew that things wouldn't go our way being that we were on the road and trying to go to the NBA Finals," Pierce said. "I didn't let it frustrate me like probably in the past. I probably would have lost my poise, lost my cool, got a technical. But that would have been selfish of me and taking away from the team. So, I just wanted to brush it off and keep playing." .... F P.J. Brown knows what Detroit F Antonio McDyess feels like. He finally reached the Finals in his 16th season. "It is unbelievable," Brown said. "I was just talking to one of the rookies, and we are on opposite ends of the spectrum. It is his first year and he is going to the Finals and I'm in my 16th year of professional basketball and I finally get a taste of it. It is all just kind of surreal and I can't even believe it." st 05-31-08 2:05 et |
