Milwaukee Bucks Simply Couldn't Handle The Truth

Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics scored 28 points in Wednesday night's home game versus the Bucks, leading his team to victory while also becoming only the third Celtic in the history of the franchise to score 20,000 career points. Pierce reached this milestone by scoring 12 of his 28 points in overtime after only having a total of five points in the entire second half. Paul joins the company of Boston legends the likes of John Havlicek (26,295) and Larry Bird (21,791) in reaching the 20,000 point club. This event comes after a offseason in which it was questioned whether or not the long-time Celtic would rejoin the franchise after a dissapointing Game 7 loss to the rival L.A. Lakers. In the end however Pierce made the decision to take a pay cut in rejoining the team in order for management to go out and get some more talent to put around Rajon Rondo and the aging Big Three. So far so good this season as the Celtics boast a 4-1 record in pursuit of raising an 18th banner into the rafters at TD Garden.
