By Jimmy Golen The Associated Press BOSTON — When the Boston Celtics built a new prac- tice facility, they surrounded the court with their 16 NBA champi- onship banners and left a blank space for No. 17. The message was a bit too subtle for Doc Rivers. The Celtics coach turned a spotlight on the empty spot on the wall at the beginning of this season so there would be no doubt about the team’s goal. “They can turn that thing off now,” guard Ray Allen said early Wednesday morning, his left eye still red from the first-half face-raking and the postgame champagne spraying that accompanied Boston’s title- clinching, 131-92 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Allen returned to the floor STEVEN SQUIRES/THE SUMMER EVERGREEN after getting poked in the eye Racing Kites performs Tuesday on the Glenn Terrell Mall.
