Key Moment
What a finish in Boston. The Celtics trailed by eight with 1:39 left in the game and brought their fans to their feet on the team’s next two possessions.
Right out of a timeout, the C’s got a driving bucket from Isaiah Thomas to make it a six-point game. Then, after forcing a miss out of the Spurs at the other end, Thomas canned a trey from the right corner off of an assist from Avery Bradley.
Only 39 seconds had ticked off the clock, and Boston had whittled San Antonio’s lead down from eight to three. It was a one-possession game with a minute left, and the Garden was rocking.
