Ever since falling in Game 2, the Boston Celtics have seemed unstoppable.
The Celtics cruised to a third straight blowout win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night to close out their opening-round playoff series at TD Garden. The Celtics, after nearly grabbing a 20-point lead after the first quarter, rolled to a 118-84 win in Game 5 of their series with the Heat.
That punched Boston’s ticket into the Eastern Conference semifinals for the seventh time in the past eight seasons.
The Celtics took off immediately Wednesday, and essentially ended the game after the first 12 minutes.
