 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Paul Pierce hit a 3-pointer in Ron Artest's face and then talked about it all the way upcourt. Artest replied with a driving layup, which provided another topic of conversation.
The two frustrated stars led their losing clubs by example — and in the final minutes, Artest and his Kings did just enough to hand Pierce's Celtics yet another defeat.
Kevin Martin scored 22 points and Artest added 18 and a key blocked shot as Sacramento sent the Celtics to their 19th loss in 20 games, 104-101 Tuesday night.
