Allen town

Ray Allen didn't score in Game 1. He didn't score in the first half of Game 2. But he scored 16 points in the second half tonight, and his contributions were key in putting away the Cavs.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he ran four or five plays for Allen coming out of halftime.

"I thought he had good looks in the first half and he kept passing it out," said Rivers. "The first three possessions to start to the game he had a look. He is making the right passes, which is what we want him to do. If they are going to jump out at him like that our bigs can get layups...I told the coaches at halftime we’re going to him over and over again, we’ve got to get him going."

Allen said after the game that he doesn't let shooting slumps get to him.

"I don’t let it get in my head," he said. "I don’t let people talk about whether I’m in a slump or not -- you just miss. You could miss four in a row, then you could make four in a row. That is my mentality, to always continue to put that next shot up.”
