NBA Playoffs Video: Celtics Win at Home (Yawn); Series Goes Back to Cleveland 3-2
Home teams are now 19-1 in the second round of the NBA playoffs. The Pistons are the only squad that’s managed to win on the road…and, not coincidentally, they’re the only team that has so far punched their ticket to the conference finals.
The Celtics struggled some with the Cavaliers in the first half Wednesday night, allowing Lebron James to score 23. Then they clamped down in the second half and won by 7.
Maybe Doc Rivers learned his lesson in this game…he should put the ball in Rajon Rondo’s hands and let him go. Sam Cassell may have the playoff experience but he’s not giving the Celtics much of anything.
