The Celtics are going to NBA Finals. The last time that happens is back in 1987, when the original Big Three are still playing.

This is the best fourth quarter that Celtics have played in the playoff, where Pistons are still up by 10 points early. The C's have kept their poise when things go rough. Paul Pierce has exerted his will, after a bad call, and follows with sequence of big play. That is great leadership and his teammates follow him.
Pistons are still in the game with less than two minutes to play. But James Posey steals the ball from Tayshaun Prince and thus forcing the P's to foul. Doc Rivers has opted Posey, instead of Ray Allen, for the entire fourth quarter to guard Chauncey Billups.
