Celtics on CLNS

After coming out strong defensively to win Game 4, the Boston Celtics did the same thing in Game 5 at TD Garden to beat the Miami Heat 110-97, forcing a Game 6 in Miami.

Last season, the Celtics had an elite, league-leading defense that carried them all the way to the NBA Finals, making up for their offensive deficiencies. This season, it was the opposite, with hot three point shooting making up for lack of effort on defense, and soon enough the team lost that defensive identity. With their backs against the wall, it seems like the Celtics have rediscovered their defensive edge and intensity, forcing turnovers and getting out in transition to create easy looks and keep the Heat on their heels.

Bobby Manning of The Garden Report weighs in on the Celtics defense after Game 5 onsite at TD Garden.

MIAMI, FL -- The Boston Celtics fell to the Miami Heat 128-102. They’re now down three games to none, a deficit no team in NBA history has overcome. Joe Mazzulla admitted to reporters postgame that he didn't have his team ready to to play

Mazzulla said post-game. “I’ve gotta put them in better positions, I’ve gotta get them ready to play and I have to have the game plan ready for us to be physical and be ready to execute. It’s important that we stick together.”

When asked about the disconnect in his locker room Joe said: "Yeah, that's where I have to be better to figure out what this team needs to make sure that they're connected."

CLNS Media's Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon recap Boston's demoralizing loss in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Boston Celtics find themselves in an 0-2 hole after losing 111-105 to the Miami Heat in Game 2 at TD Garden Friday night. One of the big highlights from the night was Grant Williams jawing back and forth with Jimmy Butler, who ended up cutting Boston's lead with four straight buckets in the fourth quarter and cited the trash talk as motivation.

After falling out of the rotation inexplicably, Grant Williams had a solid performance and made the decision to not play him even more of a head-scratcher. Even after the Jimmy Butler dust-up and "poking the bear", is it clear that Grant Williams deserves more minutes? Will Joe Mazzulla realize and acknowledge that?

Join The Garden Report's Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon as they discuss the performance of Grant Williams and the aftermath of ticking off Jimmy Butler.

In a massive change before the Celtics took on the 76ers in a win-or-go-home Game 6, Boston pulled off a big change in their lineup by bringing back Robert Williams into the starting 5. Last season, the Boston Celtics thrived off a double big lineup of Williams and Horford, but with Williams spending a big chunk of the start of this season recovering after knee surgery, Boston had been using Derrick White in his place.

With their backs against the wall, Joe Mazzulla made a gutsy call that paid dividends on defense, a move that had Marcus Smart "estatic". Join The Garden Report's Bobby Manning weighing in onsite at Wells Fargo Center after the Celtics forced a Game 7 back in Boston.
