The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 96-86 to advance to the second round of the National Basketball Association playoffs with a 4-1 series win.
Ray Allen scored 24 points Tuesday and the Boston Celtics bounced Miami 96-86 to claim their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series 4-1.
Allen shot 5-of-6 from 3-point range, while Paul Pierce contributed 21 points and Rajon Rondo put in 16 points, distributed 12 assists and hauled down eight rebounds for Boston.

Wow, Cavaliers and Celtics again? I can’t wait for this series to start Saturday Night… hard to say if Boston can keep up with Cleveland though, Garnett, Pierce and Allen are getting old!!! Check out a preview @ http://www.lionsdenu.com/nba-playoffs-eastern-conference-semi-finals-preview-and-predictions/
Lebron will steal this series but if the Celtics want any chance… it’ll be because of Rondo, not their big three… enjoy the series!! Who you got?
