At 8:24 PM, the final whistle blew.
The outcome of the game was hardly a surprise, as the Bobcats handily defeated the Eastern conference cellar-dwelling Celtics, 107 to 83.
Okafor scored the game-high, capitalizing on fast breaks and thriving in one-on-one opportunities during set plays, making 12 of 18 shots and sinking 6 of 9 free throws, tallying up 30 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 blocks.
On Pierce's end, he, along with Tony Allen, Farmar, and Gerald Green, ganged up to target Zhang Yang's midrange shooting.
Pierce originally had little fighting spirit, slipping into a state of counting down the minutes at work after playing just two games this season.
