Celtics win 89-81. Pistons get knocked out in the Conference Finals for the 3rd straight year.               

Hamilton missed a 3. Geez, they can't make anything down the stretch. Pistons down 7, Allen at the line 22.5 to go.               

Another missed look at a 3 for the Pistons - this one from Sheed. Pierce going to the line with 30.7 to go.               

Hamilton missed an open 3, Garnett at the line up 5 with 36.6 to go... missed the first... missed both. Pistons ball, still down 5.               

Celtics by 5 with 1min to go with the ball - Billups just missed an open look at a 3. Looks like the NBA is going to get its Celtics / Lakers dream               

81-76 Celtics with 3:30 to go. Garnett and Sheed each have 5. Pistons had pushed the lead as high as 10 before the Celtics went on a run.               

After 3, 68-60 Pistons.               

Crazy call - Pierce gets a foul while SHOOTING a 3 - dont think I have ever seen a jump shooter called for a foul.               

Lots of foul trouble - Garnett, Rondo and Sheed all with 4 late in the third. Detroit is on a big run - up 4.               

Billups is keeping Detroit close - just knocked down a big open 3 to make it a 1 point game
