Celts up at half, 50-40

The Celtics are up by 10 at half and Paul Pierce is putting on a show.
While LeBron James is doing his usual Superman act, the Celts' Pierce has out-done him in the opening 24 minutes. Pierce has poured in 26 points on 8-for-15 shooting. James has 23 of his team's points and is shooting 7-of-15. No other player in the game has scored more than six points (Kendrick Perkins).
What's made the half fun to watch (through fan's heads, by the way) is Pierce and James are guarding each other most of the way. Pierce has canned mostly jumpers, while James' shot isn't falling so he's powering his way to the basket, impressively.
It's Celts by 10 with a half (and the season) up next.
