Celtics Avoid Sweep Beat Knicks 97-90 In OT Thriller
(Terry comes up clutch scoring 9 of his 18 points in Ovetime)
The Celtics got off to a hot start in the 1st as they took a 22-17 lead after one. In the 2nd though they came up hotter scoring 32 points in the 2nd and only allowing 18 and had a 19 point lead heading to half time. But then the 2nd half collapse begins(again). The Knicks went on a huge run and felton hit a 3 at the buzzer to cut the lead to 3 heading to the 4th. The Knicks took there first lead of the game with under 5 minutes but the Celtics would tie it. Paul Pierce head a chance to get a buzzer but missed the jumper and off to OT we go. The "Jet" came up clutch shooting a 3 and clutch shots to seal the deal. The Celtics did a good job defending Anthony limiting him to 10-35 shooting. Also JR Smith was suspended this game for elbowing Terry. Lets look at the stats:
Jeff Green: 26 points and 6 rebounds
Brandon Bass: 4 points and 4 rebounds
Kevin Garnett: 13 points and 17 rebounds
Paul Pierce: 29 points 8 rebounds and 6 assists
Avery Bradley: 3 points and shot 1-7
Jason Terry: 18 points and shot 7-10
Rest of Bench: 4 points
So the Celtics live to fight another day. Now the Celtics will be heading back to New York where the Knicks have a chance to end it. IF the Celtics win game 5 I think they have a legit chance at coming back.
Prediction: Knicks Win 92-85
