Rajon Rondo posted 29-18-13 (the fourth triple-double of his career) and Tony Allen added 15 points (on 6-of-7 shooting) to lead the Celtics past the Cavs in Game 4, 97-87. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen had 18 points apiece, but it was Rondo and Tony Allen who put Boston over the top. These playoffs have featured some great performances by reserves. Goran Dragic almost single-handedly beat the Spurs in Game 3, Kyle Korver shot the lights out in Game 3, and now Allen posts this crucial performance to keep the Celtics in the series.
While the Lakers, Suns and Magic look like they’re going to cruise to the conference finals, this Cavs/Celtics series is shaping up to be a dogfight. Boston outrebounded Cleveland 47-33 and held the Cavs to 40% shooting from the field.
