The Celts lost a tough one 94-75.

The game started off bad for the Celts. The Pistons scored the first bunch of points and were sky high as one would expect. They were the more desperate team. The Celts would just have to weather the situation.

The Celts' offense just couldn't get anything going and the Piston's defense was very tough. Twenty percent?? Yikes!!! Also too many turnovers. It was bad.

The Piston bench was the huge difference in the game. It gave them energy. McDyess was big.

The free throws kept the Celts in the game. The Celts battled back and got within 5pts at the end of the first.

The Pistons did rebuild the lead. The Celts missed the shots they made in the last game. It was frustrating to see. Also the refs were letting the game play out; and not call fouls; a good and bad thing....

Still the Celts made the game close as the half ended. Gotta love the play Rondo made at the end of the half. Rather amazing since the Pistons played so well....The score was 43-39 Pistons at half-time.

The Pistons would rebuild their lead though and never look back. The game just got ugly.

Pierce and KG would have 16pts each but it wasn't enough. The Celts shot 32% and never had the lead in the game. McDyess continued to be possessed and played over his head with 21pts.

The Celts just didn't play with the same energy they had in game three. They had their worse showing in the playoffs. Playing catchup from the very start didn't help. The Celts shouldn't have played this bad but oh well. This series is going seven.
