Celtics Pierce 'Day To Day' With Strained Achilles
BOSTON (CBS) -The Boston Celtics are down 2-0 to the Miami Heat, and now their captain is hurting.
Paul Pierce suffered a strained left Achilles in the first quarter of Tuesday night's 102-91 loss, but should be okay by Saturday's Game 3 in Boston.
"I'm day-to-day right now," Pierce said. "We're just going to see how it feels the next couple of days."

Pierce missed nearly 10 minutes over the first and second quarter while being tended to in the locker room.
"When you strain your Achilles every step is like a slight, little pain in there," said Pierce. "But it actually loosened up when I got back in there, got up and down a few times, and it really didn't affect me the rest of the game."
Pierce finished the game with 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting in 33 minutes.
