BOSTON (Ticker) -- Paul Pierce scored 21 points and Ray Allen added 16 as the Boston Celtics pounded the gutless New York Knicks, ???, on Thursday.

Rajon Rondo added 10 points and six assists and Kevin Garnett grabbed 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who were coming off a tough 109-104 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday and had lost two of five after starting the season with nine wins.

But the real story was the abysmal performance by the Knicks, who shot just 32 percent (13-of-41) in the first half, failed to force a turnover and trailed, 54-31, at the break.



Their performance prompted embattled New York coach Isiah Thomas to call it the "most selfish half of basketball he had ever seen," and likely will renew talks about the future of the Knicks coach.

Boston scored the first 11 points in the second half, squelching any comeback thoughts by New York.

Big men Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph combined to shot 2-of-15 in the first half as New York dropped to 0-7 on the road and had a two-game winning streak snapped.

A 3-pointer by Brian Scalabrine gave Boston a 23-18 lead with 2:10 left in the first quarter. The Celtics took a 27-16 lead into the second stanza and opened it with a 16-2 run, bookended by 3-pointers from Eddie House. Glen Davis and Ray Allen each scored five points during the spurt.

Allen and Pierce drained 3-pointers during the opening run of the third quarter, and Allen added another shot from the arc and a runner on Boston's next possession to forge an 82-37 lead with three minutes remaining in the third.

<div class="pre">Boston pushed the lead to 93-43 early in the fourth quarter - its biggest lead in seven years.</div>
