Final: Thunder 101, Celtics 83

No Kevin Durant, no Russell Westbrook, no problem for the Oklahoma City Thunder (34-10).

They beat the Celtics (15-30) tonight, 101-83.

Right from the opening tip, the Thunder were more engaged and into the game than the Celtics. The C's shot 11-of-15 from the floor in the first quarter, but shot only 35% in the final three quarters.

The Thunder got double-digit scoring from five players tonight, and they were led by Serge Ibaka's 21.

Here's a recap:

The good:

* Gerald Wallace had his best game of the season. The guard scored a season-high 13 points to go along with 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Wallace had to play a lot of point guard tonight with Rajon Rondo still on a minute restriction.

The bad:

* The Thunder dominated the Celtics down low. The Thunder outscored them in the paint, 48-36, and outrebounded the C's, 45-32.

* Jared Sullinger dislocated a finger in the first quarter, and the injury clearly impacted him throughout the rest of the game. Sullinger finished with 6 points on 3-of-10 shooting and 4 rebounds.

The long-anticipated return of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the TD Garden is up next for the Celtics. The Nets and Celtics tip off at 6:30 pm on Sunday.
