Kevin Garnett, Celtics bounce back in OT win

Ray Allen was just 2 for 13 when he hit a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left in overtime to give the Boston Celtics [team stats] a 98-95 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night.

LaMarcus Aldridge followed with a missed 3-pointer, and after a scramble at midcourt Allen wound up with the ball and passed it ahead to Tony Allen for the breakaway dunk. Rudy Fernandez had a pair of 3-point attempts in the final 10 seconds, but both missed.

Kevin Garnett returned after missing 10 games with a hyperextended right knee and scored 13 points. Paul Pierce [stats] scored 24 for the Celtics before fouling out on an offensive foul with 1.1 seconds left in regulation.

Andre Miller scored 28 for Portland, and Aldridge had 19 points and 10 rebounds.
