The Miami Heat without D. Wade headed into the Boston Celtics house without K-G and Ray Allen.  This game was quite entertaining without the superstars playing as it showcased the talents of other players that are not seen to often.  The game still ended up coming down to the remaining star Paul Pierce who completely took over the game in the fourth quarter for the champs, and Boston came away with a victory in overtime with the final score being 112-108.

The leading scorers for the Celtics were Paul Pierce with 36 points, Rajon Rondo with 27 points, Eddie House with 16 points and Kendrick Perkins with 13 points.  Boston who now has the third best record in the NBA behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers improved their season long totals to 51 wins and 18 losses.
