Led by "The Big-Ticket" Kevin Garnett the Boston Celtics played a complete game both at the offensive end and defensive ends of the court winning the Eastern Semis 4-2 over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 94-85 win.
Garnett paced the Celts in the win with 22 pts. and 12 rbs. and Rajon Rondo added his usual healthy stat line with 21 pts., 12 assts., 5 stls., and 3 rbs. as he continues to mature in these 2010 playoffs. Paul Pierce finished with 13 pts. and Ray Allen on a bad night of shooting that seemed just that much off pitched in 8 pts. to close the scoring for the BIG 3 Plus 1. Tony Allen added 10 pts. to lead bench players including this posterization of Antawn Jamison.
After frustrating James in Game 5 the Celtics again put together a defensive gem against the League MVP until he and his teammates body language showed that they finally conceded early in the fourth quarter. James however did finish with a triple-double of 27 pts., 19 rbs. and 10 assts. causing many other ballers to wish they could have a bad game and finish with stats like that.
James having a hard time of it all evening whether from the defense he was swarmed by or the loyal-opponent-loving Celtic faithfuls
