Last season, the Celtics went toe-to-toe with the Warriors, including a five point loss at the Garden in March. Has Boston done enough to get over the hump?
Five points. That's all.
The last time the Celtics played the Warriors back in March of the 2014-2015 season, Boston was up by as many as 26 points in the Garden, but lost by 5 because of a fourth quarter collapse fueled by Steph Curry's 37 points.
And now we're here. Golden State returns as NBA champs, undefeated and on a 23-game winning streak.
