With the Cleveland Cavaliers blowing a 26-point lead to the Atlanta Hawks last night the Boston Celtics hopes at claiming the #1 overall seed in the Eastern Conference have remained intact. Lebron James fouled out in overtime and and the Hawks were able to pull out a 126-125 victory at home. James played 47+ minutes in defeat before being ejected on a phantom foul that put a smile on my face for all the times he gets these calls himself:
The Celtics have now pulled even with the Cavs for 1st place, although Cleveland holds the tiebreaker since they won the season series between the two.
