WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) -Two wins away from the NBA finals, the Boston Celtics have plenty of reasons for confidence.
But overconfidence? Don’t count on it, no matter what Paul Pierce said.
Before leaving the court after Boston took a 2-0 lead over the Orlando Magic with a 95-92 win on Tuesday night, Pierce said in a live 60-second television interview that the Celtics were coming home to close it out.
Coach Doc Rivers said Thursday he didn’t like the remark, although he was pleased that Pierce was confident.
The Celtics can sweep the Eastern Conference finals by winning at home on Saturday and Monday. But Rivers pointed out that they lost both their home games against Orlando during the regular season.
