Anything is possible in Game 7 at TD Garden, and Celtics fans are ready to see the team bring the series back home to Boston.
“They have to play with heart, a lot of heart,” Celtics fan Nicolas Saavedra said.
However, fans know the team still has work to do in Game 6 in New York on Friday.
“Stop falling in love with the three,” Celtics fan Mike Daley said. “Too much threes, go to the hole, get fouls, get to the line. I was appreciative of how Jaylen Brown stepped up last night. He was amazing.”
Following a big win at home in Game 5 on Wednesday, many Celtics fans found renewed hope in the team, who lost the first two games of the series at home, as well as Game 4 in New York last Monday, where star forward Jayson Tatum suffered a ruptured Achilles injury.
“They know who they are and as long as they keep that identity, we’re going to win,” lifelong Celtics fan Angela Pride said, who flew in from South Carolina to watch Game 5 on her birthday on Wednesday.
“Last night we showed them we weren’t afraid of them, we showed them that we came to play, and it was done in no other than the TD Garden, which was just, it was rocking in that building last night,” Pride said. “I booked this trip four days ago. I said, ‘I gotta go, I gotta be there.’ It’s going to be my birthday. It’s gonna be the best birthday ever, and we’re going to win.”
Now, Pride and Celtics Nation are bleeding green, hoping the team brings that same energy and teamwork to New York.
“It’s always team basketball,” Pride said. “People talk about the big three and all of that stuff, it’s always team and it’s always defense with the Celtics — and that was phenomenal defense.”
