And when the Boston Celtics went into the locker room trailing by just three points despite allowing James to ...

Some quick hits:
The Boston Celtics held on this afternoon to eek out a Game 7 victory over the Cavaliers to move to the Eastern Finals. No team has ever begun the playoffs 0-6 on the road and won a title. The C's are eight wins away from doing that. However, I have to believe that Detroit is good enough to win one in Boston so the Celtics must figure this out, or else the 66-16 season goes down

The Howeva Files
Uh oh. The Boston-Cleveland series is tied 2-2 all of a sudden after the Cavs beat the Celtics tonight. The big three, who looked downright cocky after taking a 2-0 lead, now have a different facial expression: To top it off, even Lebron's MOM appeared more fired up than the Celtics tonight. It's sort of fun to see a big star like Lebron reduced to that kid on the playground yelling at his ...
