Tony Allen, late free throws help Celtics edge Cavaliers

Oct 11, 2008 - 2:24 AM BOSTON (Ticker) -- Tony Allen scored 25 points and Leon Powe hit a pair of free throws with 13 seconds left to lift the defending champion Boston Celtics to a 96-94 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in preseason action on Friday.

Allen connected on 6-of-7 from the floor and hit 13-of-16 from the free-throw line. Patrick O'Bryant scored 12 points and rookie Bill Walker added 10 for the Celtics, who connected on 32-of-42 free throws.
