Fresh off his triple-double performance in Sunday's win over the Indiana Pacers, Boston's Paul Pierce has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 21.7 points, 8.7 assists, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game in a week the Celtics went 3-0 to extend their winning streak to a league-best 13 games.
Pierce's week included a winning 14-foot jumper over Amare Stoudemire in the final second of Wednesday's win in New York and culminated with back-to-back double-digit assist totals as the Celtics defeated the Hawks and Pacers without All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo.
Congrats, Truth. It's well deserved.
