GAME RECAP

MVP

Paul Pierce, Boston

He made like Mike Beasley and had six turnovers. He also provided the telling plays down the stretch when the Celtics needed them most, scoring five consecutive points that turned the game.

BY THE NUMBERS

7 Consecutive Wolves losses. They haven't won since a March 11 home victory over Utah.

25 The Wolves' biggest comeback ever, March 1, 1996, against Charlotte. They trailed by 25 in the second quarter, then took a fourth-quarter lead but couldn't hold it.

17-0 Boston's first-quarter run that led to a 22-5 lead.

69.2 Beasley's three-point shooting percentage (9-for-13) in his past eight games.
