We battled them right to the end. We just didn’t have it today.” As for the Celtics they shot 47% from the floor lead by Paul Pierce with 22 in all there were 5 players for the Celtics in double figures. “I really had no doubt in my mind how we were going to come out,” Pierce said. “You kind of saw it from the guys after Game 6 on the plane, there wasn’t a lot of talking. We knew that we let a couple of games get away in Atlanta and I knew we were just going to take care of business.” Next up for the Boston Celtics are the Cleveland Cavs Kevin Garnett had this to say about the Cavs.”They’re a group that’s defending Eastern Conference champs,” Garnett said. “To do anything, you’ve got to go through them. “It’s good that we have home-court advantage.
