Eastern Conf Finals (Game 4) Highlight

The Pistons should have pulled the game away much earlier.

Instead, the Celtics stay competitive till last two plus minutes, thanks for the free-thow disparity. C's has more points from the line (32) than from the field early in the fourth quarter.

The P's forces the Big Three out of rhythm with defense. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen combines to miss their first seven shots and finished 11-for-38 from the field.

Antonio McDyess has his best game of the playoffs for Pistons, scoring 21 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.

Doc Rivers is still joggling with his option for backup PGs. Sam Cassell has his pros and cons. At times Cassell's confidence over-spills for erratic outside shooting, rather than running the offence, and disrupting the rhythm of the team.
