Celtics vow to 'get up off mat, go after it again'
CLEVELAND -- Missed dunks and missed opportunities -- that was the story of Game 4 for a Boston Celtics team that squandered a chance to put the Cleveland Cavaliers' backs against the wall in the Eastern Conference finals.
The Celtics dug themselves an early first-quarter hole highlighted by three missed dunk attempts on a night Boston would miss a staggering 15 dunks and layups overall. And despite numerous second-half surges, the Celtics never truly got over the hump as the Cavaliers fended them off en route to a 111-102 triumph at Quicken Loans Arena.
