1. Sigh.
Heavy sigh.
Heavier sigh.
Heaviest of sighs.
The Boston Celtics “missed a golden opportunity” as Ime Udoka put it postgame, after his team collapsed and dropped Game 5 to the Milwaukee Bucks. Boston now heads to Milwaukee with a major uphill battle in front of them. The Bucks have two opportunities to advance, while the Celtics must win two.
That’s a pretty major difference.
The sad part? It was all so avoidable. Had the Celtics made one more play at any point in the game’s final eight minutes or so, they’d be in control of the series.
