The Boston Celtics rode their three All-Stars to their 17th championship on Tuesday night, blowing by the Los Angeles Lakers with a stunning show of second-quarter scoring to win 131-92 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Pierce, the Finals MVP, had 17 points and 10 assists in the clincher, Garnett had 26 points with 14 rebounds, and Allen returned from a red-eye from the coast and a poked eye in the lane to add 26 points, including an NBA Finals record-tying seven 3-pointers.
It was the first NBA title for each of them, and the first for the league's most-decorated franchise since the original big three of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish won No. 16 in 1986. Danny Ainge was the point guard for that team and the general manager for the one that won 24 games last year and 66 this season -- the biggest turnaround in NBA history.

all bets we make should be posted this would help the losing party pay up on those bets, which rarely happens now
