NBA STAR Paul Pierce and his Boston Celtics teammates feel at home on the hard- wood — even if they are bowling, not play- ing basketball. The basketball players took to the lanes

Dec. 15 at High Rollers at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Conn., for Pierce’s “The Truth Strikes Again” annual bowling tour- nament as part of Pierce’s Truth on Health campaign. Pierce got a bit of help from his team-

mates, as Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Ken- drick Perkins, Glen Davis, Nate Robinson, Avery Bradley and Marquis Daniels were in attendance. Joining them was Red Sox third

baseman Kevin Youkilis. Pierce established The Truth Fund in

2002 to provide educational and life-enrich- ing opportunities for underprivileged chil- dren. His Truth on Health Campaign was launched in 2009, and encourages young people to lead healthier lifestyles. “Staying active and eating healthy have

been very important to my success, so I think it’s critical for kids to understand that exercise and nutrition are important keys to leading a happy and fulfilling life,” Pierce said. “I was really excited by the success of last year’s event, and I think that this year The Truth Strikes Again will be even better.”
