Boston Celtics prove they can close in game 5 victory against the 76ers

It was one of the most exciting back and fourth games of the season. Both teams showed up, and delivered special performances. In the end, it was a one possession game, and it went down to the very last heave, after Marcus Smart accidentally hit a free throw.

The Boston Celtics put themselves in a great position with a double digit lead, but fell apart at the end of the third quarter. All season long the Celtics have been up and down, but they have proven time and time again that they are as good as anyone in the closing minutes.
