A Game 6 win would further accelerate Boston's growth

Losing is easy. Just ask Brad Stevens

“It’s much more easy to lose a game than win a game. I think the first time I heard that was from coach (Bobby) Knight. Coach Knight used to say no matter what, it is hard to win a basketball game. You should always realize that when you’ve come back into a locker room after you’ve won.

Every team has an excuse for a loss. Boston, especially, can look at this game tonight in Milwaukee and tick off a half-dozen of them. The easiest of all is that their myriad of injuries has left them too thin and too reliant on unproven, young talent to close out a team on the road.
