We know the drill at this point. Boston wins one, then lose one, and the cycle continues over and over again. That’s been the way this post-season has gone since the second round, and it looks like it will continue to play out that way into The Finals.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Celtics basketball if they didn’t lose while turning the ball over, because you know, consistency and all that. But 18 turnovers is still too high for an NBA Finals game, especially if you’re giving up 33 points because of them — just shy of 1 point per turnover.
