Re: Game 15: Boston Celtics (12-2) at Miami Heat (4-10)
The Celtics nearly gave away that game. They went away from everything that got them to the fourth quarter and went into panic mode. Allen missed 12 in a row, but then Pierce missed 9 in a row, too. Nobody could score. You can tell Allen to stop shooting, but nobody else was going to either. What they needed to do is get back to the crisp ball movement they had for most of the game. They admitted their biggest problem was closing out games, and it's still a problem. Were it not for a huge 28 point lead, the Heat probably would've won. The Celtics just scored and defended enough to run out the clock. Of course, if it weren't for Jason Williams continually bringing the ball up and taking the first three he could, the Heat wouldn't have been in it. It's such a ridiculous play until you see the ball go in.
