West almost missed the game, too: He was late to a meeting and dropped from the starting lineup as punishment. But he was part of two big plays down the stretch.
West finished the game having played 25 minutes scoring 11 points. His two made free throws with 1.9 seconds on the clock were the game winning points in the Celtics 98-96 victory over the Cavs.
Both teams were without their stars. LeBron James missed the game following the Cav’s overtime victory in Chicago on Saturday afternoon. Paul Pierce missed the game for the Celtics in an effort to keep his many ailments in check.
Gerald Green tied a career high with his 25 point effort. Al Jefferson added 24 points and Kendrick Perkins had a great game for the Celtics — scoring 12 points, pulling down 9 rebounds and dishing out a team high 5 assists.
