| tes later, the same thing happened. Gasol was little more than a spectator of the Kobe Bryant show in Game 5 of the NBA finals on Sunday night. And if he doesn't become part of the offense again, he might be watching something else: another Boston Celtics celebration at the Los Angeles Lakers' expense. The forward from Spain either couldn't get himself involved or the Lakers wouldn't involve him. Gasol got only four shots in the first half and finished with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting in t |

BOSTON (AP) -When the Boston Celtics assembled their new Big Three in the summer of 2007, they suddenly had three different options on offense - too many for opponents to handle, it turned out, and the league's most-decorated franchise drove to its unprecedented 17th NBA championship. So far in this year's NBA finals, though, the trio of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen has been more like the Big One-at-a-Time: Three All-Stars, taking turns making contributions but never all clickin |

BOSTON (AP) -Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen missed Saturday's media session for the NBA finals because of a family matter. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said Allen arrived at the TD Garden in time for practice. Twiss said Allen was given permission to miss the session on the off day before Sunday night's Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers. No other details were available. Allen's son, Walker, was diagnosed with diabetes during the 2008 finals and Allen nearly missed Game 6 when he f |

| (Sports Network) - Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce now hopes the NBA Finals return to Los Angeles. The braggadocios star had incensed Lakers fans by proclaiming "We ain't coming back to LA" after the Celtics Game 2 win in Hollywood. Well, Pierce may still turn out to be right for all the wrong reasons. By bouncing back to win Game 3, 91-84, on Tuesday night, it's the Lakers who have a chance to lock things up in Boston, starting with tonight's contest at TD Garden. Veteran Derek Fisher was t |

BOSTON (AP) -Paul Pierce knows he has to improve his play in Game 4 of the NBA finals. First, he must stay out of foul trouble. The Boston Celtics' leading scorer in the regular season picked up his fifth foul in the first minute of the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 91-84 win Tuesday night that gave them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Pierce finished with 15 points, and that included a meaningless layup with 5.1 seconds left, after a rough second game when he missed n |
