With the win on Sunday, the Celtics improved to 2-0, marking the team's first 2-0 start since the 2003-04 season...Ray Allen scored his 17,000th career point during overtime, while Paul Pierce moved up to 6th place (15,416 points) on the Celtics' all-time scoring list. He passed Sam Jones (15,411).
Allen on the last play of the game: "That is exactly how we drew it up. A lot has been said about this team and what's going to happen at the end of games and who is going to take that shot. It is a joy to be out there offensively and for the coach to be able to draw up a play and there are three options, Paul (Pierce) he had a shot if he threw it in and stepped back in. He caught me wide open and KG (Kevin Garnett) set a great pick, but even if I wasn't open, KG was under the basket. It was a great play."
Also of note, courtesy of the Raptors PR department: with 20 points in the extra session, the Celtics scored the most points ever recorded against the Raptors in an overtime session.
And after two games, the Celtics rank as the best defensive team in the league, at least along the lines of opponents' field goal percentage. The C's held the Wizards and Raptors, two offensive powerhouses, to a combined .359 field goal percentage. The C's rank third in points allowed at 89.0 PPG.
