BOSTON — The Celtics gave Paul Pierce a fitting tribute Sunday afternoon, but they didn’t cut his team any slack between the whistles.
Boston dispatched Los Angeles Clippers 107-102 in a wire-to-wire victory at TD Garden, sending Pierce off into the sunset with a loss in his final visit to the city before he retires at the end of the season.

Jamal Crawford and Blake Griffin paced the Clippers with 23 points each.
Here’s how this one went down:
