ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Rajon Rondo, Shooting guard Ray Allen, Small forward Paul Pierce, Power forward Kevin Garnett, Center Kendrick Perkins. Bench -- Guard/Forward Tony Allen, Guard Eddie House, Center Leon Powe, Forward Glen Davis.
PLAYER NOTES: --G Ray Allen had a tough night against Golden State. He fouled out with just seven points, and three of the whistles were for offensive fouls.
--F Paul Pierce had a perfect first quarter, making all five of his shots from the floor and both free throws on the way to 13 points. But he had just eight more points the rest of the night.
--C Leon Powe got the start in place of Kendrick Perkins Friday and had 12 points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes. The start was gratifying for Powe and his many fans at the game, as he is from Oakland.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--C Kendrick Perkins (strained left shoulder) is day to day. He suffered the injury in the first quarter against the Lakers Thursday, but said afterward he was all right. After getting treatment Friday, it was determined he should miss at least one game.
