So, we’re back here again. Another series tied at 2-2, where it can clearly go either way — a big, missed opportunity from the Boston Celtics, considering they had the chance to take a two-game lead heading into Game 5. But, this team hasn’t done things the easy way all post-season, so expecting the Celtics to suddenly take the path of least resistance was probably more wishful thinking than anything.
Still, this loss could be looked back on as the night the Celtics let a championship slip through their fingers. Or, it could be looked on as the game that snapped the Celtics into action and forced them to find a new gear.
