BOSTON -- Will the banners, the history, save the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals?
Or will the Washington Wizards, who are trying to reach the conference finals for the first time since 1979, come into TD Garden and record the first road win in 11 games this season between two teams that have exchanged all kinds of unpleasantries throughout the year?
The answer will come Monday night, when the series comes down to one game. The winner moves on to oppose the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East finals beginning Wednesday.
"We believe we should be playing against Cleveland, and beat Cleveland and go to the championship," Boston's Avery Bradley said.
