STORY LINE: Paul Pierce and the Celtics are playing for a share of the Atlantic Division title, but they're struggling as Kevin Garnett's injury absence nears one month. They're 6-6 since Garnett strained his right knee Feb. 19, including losses in four of their last five games after a St. Patrick's day defeat at Chicago on Tuesday.
