Ray Allen,'s gone a little lost in these playoffs, rediscovered himself and his extraordinary powers to help draft a Boston Celtics are put 3-2 in the tie. 106-102 finished the game between Boston and Detroit Pistons. Ray Allen scored 29 points.

However, the main maker of victory was, again, Kevin Garnett, the best Celtic this year (of course, is the best player on the team). The power forward scored 33 points, his highest scoring in these playoffs. The center Kendric Perkins was also a high level, scoring 18 points and 16 rebounds.

Despite the great advantage of these three men (well seconded by Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo), the Pistons managed to get to a point of difference in the final minute of the game. Ray Allen was held that the comeback was not over.

The Celtics are now closer to the NBA Finals, a goal not achieved since 1987 with Larry Bird and company.

Chauncy Billups and Richard Hamilton were the best Detroit Pistons. The one scored 25 points and the other 26, but eventually lost the game. "Perkins is dominating us," said Detroit coach Flip Saunders. It's what you have, other years you had to know that Ben Wallace who handle these things.
