Pierce OK for Game 3 in Atlanta

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) - Boston Celtics swingman Paul Pierce is ready for Game 3 of the playoff series against Atlanta, despite being body-slammed to the floor in the first quarter of Wednesday night's win.

Pierce had no problems in practice Friday before the Celtics headed to the airport for Saturday's game.

Coach Doc River says the training staff has placed no restrictions on Pierce, who returned later in the first half of Wednesday's 96-77 victory over the Hawks.

Pierce says he was stiff after returning to the game and on Thursday. But he got a massage, stayed off his feet and is ready to go.

Celtics hold a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
