Paul Pierce scores 17 points in loss to Miami
Paul Pierce - G/F - Boston Celtics
March 19, 2013 - 2:10 AM ET

Paul Pierce had seven turnovers in Monday's 105-103 loss to the Heat, scoring 17 points with eight boards, eight assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

He's usually the engine of the Boston offense, but he took a backseat a bit with just 17 points while Jeff Green put up 43. Pierce had 6.2 assists per game in his previous 10 games while shooting 52.1 percent from the field, so he's an elite option at small forward in all leagues.
