Two aging heavyweights are locked in a close matchup, with the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs tied up 49-49 at halftime. Boston is shooting better -- almost 48 percent to just under 40 percent -- but is getting slightly outrebounded, especially on the offensive glass. San Antonio has grabbed eight boards on their side of the court.
