Kevin Garnett and The Boston Celtics Take the Series Lead With The Miami Heat with a 94-90 Victory
The NBA eastern conference finals took a dramatic change in favor of the Boston Celtics. The Celtics, down two, have won three straight to take the series lead against the Miami Heat three games to two with a dramatic 94-90 victory.
Kevin Garnett led the way for the Celtics with 26 points and 11 rebounds, Paul Pierce had 16 points, and Ray Allen chipped in 13. Rajon Rondo had an off shooting night, going 3-15 from the field scoring only 7 points, but more than made up for it with 13 assists.
For the Heat, LeBron James led all scorers with 30 points, with Dwayne Wade chipping in 27 more. The Heat simply couldn't hit shots when it mattered.
The Celtics, who seemed to be down for the count after what seemed to be two dominating Heat victories, have come out of nowhere. The reason? Team chemistry. The play of the Celtics "big 3" of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, as well as the play of Rajon Rondo as of late have really pushed the Celtics to the brink of another eastern conference title as well as another appearance in the NBA championship.
