Celtics, Heat vs. Kobe In L.A.'s All-Star Game
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Paul Pierce says the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat can go back to being enemies on Sunday night.
For one celebrity-soaked weekend in Hollywood, the NBA's two biggest constellations of stars are teaming up to see if they can ruin Kobe Bryant's All-Star party.
Boston and Miami placed a combined seven players on the East team for Sunday's All-Star game at Staples Center, and their presence dominated discussion Friday when the NBA's superstars reported to Los Angeles.
Chris Bosh won't be surprised to get booed by the West Coast crowd, and East coach Doc Rivers says fans should look out for a lineup with LeBron James playing alongside four Celtics.
Carmelo Anthony mostly deflected questions about his up-in-the-air future.
