The Celtics wins their 17th championship, playing their best game to finish the season. For almost eight months, they have demonstrated consistent defence as a unit and alone the way, they overcome numerous adversity.

Ray Allen rebounds after he's been poked in eye in first-half, when he was already playing with the weight of a family crisis on his shoulders, hitting seven triples and 26 points in total. Both Garnett and Rondo are determined to rebound from their sub-par performance last game right from the start. Garnett records 26 points and 14 rebounds. Rondo records 21 points, 8 assists and 6 steals.
Pierce looks really tired, but still makes up with 17 points and 10 assists. For a moment I worry that he has nothing left in him, thanks God his teammates have taken the load off him.
