BOSTON -- The Celtics were heavily favored to beat the Cavaliers even before Cleveland had three of its top six players -- including star guard Donovan Mitchell -- missing for Game 5 of this Eastern Conference semifinal series Wednesday night.
And yet, despite that, Boston found itself in a one-possession game early in the fourth quarter -- staring down the possibility of yet another painful loss on its home court in the postseason, an all-too-familiar scenario in recent years.
