Celtics hurt again by late-game woes, down 2-0 against Heat

BOSTON -- Over the past two postseasons, the Boston Celtics have repeatedly responded well after losses. They have also repeatedly struggled in close situations late in games.

In control for significant portions of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat on Friday night, the Celtics appeared poised to even this series at a game apiece, but another late-game meltdown has them staring at an 0-2 deficit as this series heads to Miami for Game 3 on Sunday night.

"At the end of the day, we have a real, real decision to make," Celtics forward Grant Williams said.
