Recap: Celtics eliminated with loss in wild Game 4
The Celtics’ season of over-achieving ended today with a fourth straight playoff loss to Cleveland, 101-93, a game that featured injuries, cheap shots, flagrant fouls, ejections, and a near-miracle finish. And the Celts might have won it if they had only shot a little bit better from the arc and the free-throw line.
Boston fell behind early and trailed by as many as 21, but true to form fought back in the final minutes after the game seemed to be over. Despite being down by 16 with 3:14 remaining, the Celtics got to within 6 points with the ball and 36 seconds left. Gigi Datome had a good look at a 3-pointer but missed it, and that was the end.
