The Celtics used to be the franchise of basketball. They won a tremendous number of championships - but since Larry Bird retired, I don't think they've even been in the running. Longer-time fans than I can correct me if I'm wrong.
It didn't seem any better by the third quarter of this game... they were trailing by an embarassing 26 points at one time - on their home turf (the Fleet Center) yet.
Fourth quarter, they really turned things around, going from a 26 point deficit to a win by four points.
That's the kind of determination I like in the Playoffs.
