Wednesday. The Celtics have a five game lead over Detroit with just 12 games left to play for the overall #1 seed in the East so they are not too worried but they would like to play better than they did on Monday when they lost 95-90 to Philadelphia. The Celtics blew an 11-point fourth quarter lead on Monday. "These games are crucial to us, too," Kevin Garnett said. "We are trying to establish something, and a rhythm going into the playoffs. So these are big games for us, too, just as it is for all the other teams coming in here." SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Celtics at Home.
