Where Home Court Happened, If Nothing Else

ManchvegasBob posted 5/7/2008 from mvn.com [flag]

Celtics win 76-72 in a defensive struggle of titanic proportions. The carnage included the great LeBron James going 2-18 and the all-stars Pierce going for 2-14 and Ray Allen 0-4 AND going scoreless for the first time since 1979. Put those remarkable numbers aside, and you have to elevate Garnett to MVP status -oops, he got bumped on that one, make that player of the game and clutch in the 4th. [link]
