Morning Coffee: Can The Celtics Bounce Back Following A Loss Again In Game 5?

The Golden State Warriors have an opportunity to move within one win of an NBA championship on their home floor tonight.

For the Boston Celtics, it will be a chance to send the series back to Massachusetts one win away from a title.

When the NBA Finals is tied 2-2, the winner of Game 5 has gone on to win the championship 73 per cent of the time.

FanDuel Sportsbook currently has Golden State -4.

Boston is +142 on the money line.

As someone who bet on the Celtics to win the series pre-flop, along with Game 1, Game 3 and Game 4, it was tough to watch Boston collapse in the final five minutes of Friday night’s game.

Will the Celtics bounce back again and take care of business in a hostile environment at Chase Center?

At this stage of the playoffs, it wouldn’t be a major surprise, but I have my doubts. 

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Monday, June 13th, 2022.

Celtics, Warriors Down To Best-Of-Three

The NBA Finals is down to a best-of-three.

Golden State is -150 to win the championship at FanDuel.

Boston is +125 to win the title.

The trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green won their 19th NBA Finals game together on Friday. With another win, they’d have the most Finals wins by an All-NBA trio in the last 50 seasons surpassing Tim Duncan, Tony Parker & Manu Ginóbili h/t @EliasSports pic.twitter.com/2IIl0WRSCZ

The Celtics have played 18 games since sweeping the Brooklyn Nets in the opening round of the playoffs.

They’ve won back-to-back games only twice.

Boston is 4-5 at TD Garden versus 6-3 on the road.
