BOSTON -- Both Boston coach Doc Rivers and Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry expect a run-and-gun, high-scoring game.

Rivers said that the Celtics want to play a fast-paced offensive game tonight while slowing down Phoenix's high-paced offense.

Gentry said that he has been very impressed with the way Boston center Kendrick Perkins has been playing defense this year and he won't be surprised if Perkins gets a lot of votes for the NBA All-Defensive team.

Rivers has been equally impressed with Suns center Channing Frye, who, he says, is dangerous both in the post and on the perimiter.

Boston backup forward Brian Scalabrine will not play tonight. He is having back spasms, Rivers said.
