Game 5 Breakdown: Celtics extend their playoff run, beat the Heat 121-108

With their playoff lives on the line the Boston Celtics managed to pull out a massive win against the Miami Heat, and extended the series at least one more game. I came into this game with a tremendous amount of confidence in them, although that confidence quickly began waning as the first quarter went on. They found themselves down by 12 early, but that was Miami’s biggest lead of the game, and as the game progressed the Celtics started to gain their rhythm. Ultimately it was the third quarter where the Celtics started to look like the team that we all expected them to be, much to the surprise of probably most Celtics fans considering how the rest of their 3rd quarters have gone in these playoffs.
