WOW. seriously, WOW. the second epic game in a row for the celts at msg. this one had everything. chaunce big shot nailing big shots. pierce taking over the game and hitting everything down the stretch. ray and melo bleeding all over the place. garnett and rondo making ridiculous hustle plays. this was one of those games boston won because in the end, they just wanted it more. there were several bad breaks late in the game that easily could have been excuses to mail it in the rest of the way, but instead they turned up their defense and kept fighting:
-the celtics closed the game on a 23-4 run-neither melo or amare made a shot in the 4th qtr
-the knicks went scoreless for the last 3:28
-boston has now rallied from 15 pt deficits on
the road in back to back games
the celts may not hold on to the number one seed in the east, but the team we saw tonight was the team that out worked orlando and cleveland on the road and was minutes away from the title in LA last year.
