Boston — Paul Pierce plans to have an MRI on his left foot today after the second-worst shooting game of his career.

Pierce missed all 10 of his shots and scored one point in the Boston Celtics’ 85-82 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday.

“I’m just battling a couple of minor injuries to my hand and my foot,” he said. “So I think that really explains my tentativeness and my off shooting today.”

Pierce, a former Kansas University standout, said he sprained his right shooting hand in practice Saturday then was hit on it Sunday.

“With me playing the way I did and coming up with the win, that’s big for us,” he said.

His poor performance against the Heat was the first time in 1,038 games with the Celtics in the regular season and playoffs when he played more than 25 minutes and missed at least 10 shots. On March 2, 1999, Pierce went 0-for-11 from the field in 25 minutes and finished with two points. On Sunday, he played 39 minutes, 35 seconds.

It was the fourth game in which he didn’t score a field goal. The last time was Dec. 13, 2000, when he went 0-for-7 with nine points in 31 minutes against the Chicago Bulls.

The injuries are the latest in a string of health problems for the Celtics. Swingman Marquis Daniels is out indefinitely after bruising his spine during a 91-80 victory over Orlando on Feb. 6. Backup guard Nate Robinson bruised his right knee in a 92-86 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night and played just 4:45 on Sunday.

The Celtics also are without three big men. Shaquille O’Neal missed his fifth straight game due to a leg injury, Jermaine O’Neal is expected to be out until early April after arthroscopic knee surgery and Semih Erden is out because of a strained leg muscle.

Hockey

Lemieux bashes NHL

New York — Pittsburgh Penguins owner Mario Lemieux said the NHL failed in its punishment of the New York Islanders following a fight-filled game between the teams — and went so far as to question whether he wanted to stay in the league.

Lemieux, who had a Hockey Hall of Fame playing career with the Penguins, issued a statement Sunday in which he bashed the league’s handling of the aftermath of Friday night’s 9-3 Islanders victory in which there were 346 penalty minutes, 10 ejections, 15 fighting majors and 20 misconducts.

Tennis

French Open staying put

Paris — The French Tennis Federation voted to keep the French Open at its traditional Roland Garros venue and renovate the existing site by making it considerably larger, more attractive and modern, rather than moving it elsewhere.

Three other venues were bidding to host the clay-court Grand Slam tournament by 2016. The proposed new sites at Versailles, close to the hugely popular Versailles palace, and in the suburbs at Gonesse and Marne-La-Vallee were much more expensive because they would have required building from scratch.

Woods falls short in Dubai

Dubai, United Arab Emirates — Tiger Woods stumbled in a bid for his first victory in 15 months Sunday, leaving Alvaro Quiros to win the Dubai Desert Classic with a wild round that included a hole-in-one and triple bogey.

The 70th-ranked Quiros shot a 68 to finish at 11-under 277, one stroke ahead of Anders Hansen (70) and James Kingston (67).

Points claims Pebble Beach win

Pebble Beach, Calif. — D.A. Points won for the first time on the PGA Tour and wasn’t even the biggest star.

That’s what made this Pebble Beach National Pro-Am so special.

Points grew up idolizing Bill Murray, whether it was his “Caddyshack” role as the assistant greenskeeper at Bushwood or his antics at Pebble Beach over the years. To have him as an amateur partner made this week great before it even started.

Then came Sunday, when Points holed out from 100 yards for eagle on the diabolical 14th at Pebble Beach to take the lead. That carried him to a 5-under 67 and a two-shot victory. Making it even sweeter, they won the pro-am title, a first for Murray, who now gets his name on the wall below the first tee.

Mickelson to play in Match Play

Pebble Beach, Calif. — Count in Phil Mickelson for the Match Play Championship.

Lee Westwood, who took over at No. 1 in the world three months ago, will be the top seed when the Match Play Championship begins Feb. 23 on Dove Mountain just north of Tucson.

Lehman shot a final-round 69 to win for the third time on the Champions Tour. The 51-year-old former British Open champion had five birdies Sunday, but he bogeyed the par-4 ninth and par-3 14th to make things interesting on the back nine.
