The Celtics came out of their locker room breathing fire to hold the Cavs to 10 points in the first quarter. The Celtics were coasting the whole game and leading 76-60 after three quarters. But, the Cavs rose up in the 4th quarter and out-scored the Celtics 34-17 in the 4th quarter to win the game!

Paul Pierce was cold as ice as he only hit 6 of 19 shots from the floor for 19 points, he also had 9 rebounds. Sebastian Telfair had his best game as a Celtic with 15 points & 5 assists. Kendrick Perkins was a force in the paint as he scored 12 points & snatched 11 rebounds. Delonte West got the start in place of Wally Szczerbiak (did not play) and had a solid game with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Ryan Gomes had a decent game with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Celtics played great for 3 quarters, but it wasn’t enough. The Celtics need to get a killer instinct to finish games off because there is no excuse for losing this game!
