NEW YORK - They clung to hope that the Red Sox would choke at the last minute and once again fail to win the World Series, but when it didn't happen, some Yankees fans yesterday begrudgingly gave the Sox their due.

Al Jefferson did not wait for the end of the question. From the moment the final buzzer sounded last night and the Celtics' 103-96 loss to the Pacers entered the books -- stretching Boston's losing streak to 12 games -- Jefferson knew the query was coming.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Maybe this one will come back to haunt the Celtics on the day the ping-pong balls fall, but in the here and now, yesterday's 96-88 overtime victory over the Nets had an unmistakable feel-good quality about it.

When asked to rate his level of frustration on a scale from 1 to 10 following Monday's 110-106 loss to the Warriors, Paul Pierce said, with little hesitation, &quot;10.&quot; Given the circumstances, it was an understandable answer.

As the Celtics begin their second major trip west against the Sacramento Kings tonight, it seems somewhat pointless to speculate about how many games they will win (maybe one of five; two if they're very lucky). The second time around these parts should prove tougher than the first, with the Suns, Lakers, Jazz, and Rockets also on the ...

The in box was loaded Thursday morning, less than 12 hours after the Celtics' first defeat at home. Where is the backup point guard? Why did Doc Rivers have an ice-cold Paul Pierce take the final shot? Why didn't Pierce wait? What was Tony Allen thinking at the end of the game? Why was he even in the game? Why ...
