Celtics have struggled but are leading series 3-2
The Celtics won at the Garden yesterday, and took a 3-2 lead on their series to the Cavs, but now they are in the same position as the Lakers, who also won their match against the Jazz and left that series in equal terms, and so Boston would have to take a trip to Cleveland, where the Celtics lost games 3 and 4.
Last night’s final score was 96-89 with Paul Pierce shooting for 29, Kevin Garnett throwing for 26 points and team mate Rajon Rondo finished with 20 and 13 assists, while for the Cavs, Lebron James seemed unstopable and shot for 35 points and this only shows how weak this Cavaliers are playing lately.
"Whether we get 35 or 20 from James, it doesn't matter at this point, to lose the game ... that's what's more disappointing than anything else. Whether he gets this or that, I'm not really concerned, because he's going to contribute in other ways." Cavaliers Coach Mike Brown said.
The Celtics will have a hard time with the Cavs if, besides Lebron, other Cleveland players realize when they are right now, and where they can go, otherwise the Lakers will be Detroit’s next rival.

6th : Friday, May 16 @ Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland
