Celtics

The home team has still won every game  of the Eastern Conference finals.  The Celtics connected on 13 threes  on their way to a 96-83 win over the Cavaliers in Game Five at TD Garden.  Those 13 hits from deep were 42-percent of  Boston's 31 made field goals as the Celtics took a 3-2 lead in the  best-of-seven series.  Rookie Jayson Tatum led the way with 24 points,  seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks.  LeBron James  had 26 points, 10 boards and five helpers to pace the Cavaliers.  Boston will try to close out the series in Game Six Friday in Cleveland.
