76ers-Celtics Preview

(AP) -- Paul Pierce says the Boston Celtics are still a work in progress. If that's the case, the Philadelphia 76ers probably have no desire to see the finished product.

On Wednesday night, the Atlantic Division-leading Celtics seek to continue their recent dominance of a Philadelphia club trying to end its longest losing streak of the young season.

The Celtics beat the Knicks 107-105 in overtime when Kevin Garnett hit a jumper at the buzzer. Garnett shot just 4 for 15 during a subpar performance by his standards, but Paul Pierce didn't hesitate to feed him the ball for the final shot. (MORE)
