Paul Pierce scored 31 points, and the Boston Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers 101-86 on Tuesday night to remain unbeaten. Pierce made 14 of 14 free throws and had 11 rebounds.
 

Kevin Garnett added 18 points and 11 rebounds, his sixth double-double in six games, as Boston (6-0) matched its best start since the 1987-88 season. Boston still is chasing its best start, 14 straight wins to begin the 1957-58 season.
 

Danny Granger led Indiana (3-4) with 24 points and seven rebounds, and Jermaine O'Neal added 10 points and nine boards. 
 

It was Indiana's fourth consecutive loss after starting the season with three straight wins.

It took Boston until Dec. 9 last season to win its sixth game. By then, the Celtics had 13 losses. 
 

It was Indiana coach Jim O'Brien's first game against Boston as Indiana head coach. He led the Celtics to the Eastern Conference finals in 2002.
