Doc Rivers starts Paul Pierce for his final game in Boston

Bravo, Doc.
The Los Angeles Clippers will start Paul Pierce on Sunday in what will almost certainly be his final game in Boston, where he spent 15 seasons as a Celtic. It's a wonderful gesture by fellow ex-Celtic Doc Rivers.
Pierce arrived at TD Garden hours earlier dressed head-to-toe in New England Patriots gear. He's also changed NBA jerseys throughout his career - going to Washington, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles - but Pierce's heart never left Boston.
