The Celtics never wavered.

They stuck with their system and it's now a 14-point lead.

JT kept feeding Horford.

I have to admit, these guys are like robots.

It wasn't working early because the shots were not falling.

But they stuck with it and it's another double digit lead.

These past few games show why Porzingis/Horford both shooting well from the 3 is so key for this team

Can our guys just lock in like this for a good stretch of the game instead of just like 2-3 minutes each half? Gonna need to play with this effort in the finals

Too much time left. If we've learned anything, we can still relax and get Cavs to within two lol.

Pump the breaks here. Denver has not advanced to the nba finals yet.

They still have 2 more series to win till they get there.
