End of First at TD Garden

Celtics 27-Phila 76ers 23 at the end of first. Sixers, without Lou Williams and Elton Brand, certainly holding their own vs the Celtics. C's shooting 10-for-20 from field, but 3-of-8 from 3PT land. Pierce leads scorers with seven.

Thanksgiving wishes going out in all directions tonight as Brian Scalabrine took the mic in pre-game to thank fans for support. Also, Ray Allen and his Ray of Hope Foundation spent yesterday providing Thanksgiving meals to the less fortunate. TD Garden served some 500+ in their annual Tuesday before Thanksgiving feast.

My friend, Leah Wilcox, had a great idea to give something back and that was to take a simple trip to Boston Market and buy a gift card for $30+ bucks and to hand that to someone down on their luck who might take their family for a nice lunch or dinner this weekend.
