The Celtics defeated the Pistons 106-102 to take a 3-2 lead in the series.

Ray Allen has had a terrible post season. Allen who was brought to Boston to win a championship has not been the reason why the Celtics had made it this far. Allen some points in the post season looked old and flat out wasn’t a factor on the Celtics, but last night Ray Allen’s performance might’ve saved the Celtics season.

Ray Allen for this post season was avearging 14 points per game. Last night Allen scored 29 points and hit a key basket under a minute reamaing to give the Celtics a 106-102 win. The Celtics with the win is now leading the best of seven 3-2. Kevin Garnett lead all scores with 33. There were 4 Celtics in double figures last night. Another big thing last night for the Celtics was the rebounding. The Celtics out rebounded the Pistons 42-25. Ray Allen of the Celitcs had this to say”My feeling right now is no different than if I scored 10 points and we won the game. It’s a great feeling,Just winning gives me the greatest joy, regardless of what I’ve done.” The Pistons played well last night. The issue for the Pistons was there defense. They couldn’t keep the Celtics under 100 points. Chauncey Billups lead the Pistons in scoring with 26. There were 4 Pistons in double figures.”The good thing about it is we’re going home,” who twice drove to the basket in the final 10 seconds, hoping for a foul that wasn’t there, and also missed an inconsequential 3-pointer at the buzzer. “We’ve been here before, and we don’t like being in this position, but we’ve fought hard.” Chauncey Billups of the Pistons. Game 6 will take place Friday at the Palace in Auburn Hills.
