It looks like history is repeating itself for the Boston Celtics, and not in a good way.
Ray Allen's playoff-high 51 points weren't enough to stop the Chicago Bulls from shocking the reigning champions 128-127 in triple overtime last night at the United Center, as the Bulls have tied the best-of-seven series at three. This is the second year in a row that the Celtics have been pushed to seven in the first round against a team that critics said would get knocked out. Last year, however, the Celtics had a healthy Kevin Garnett.
John Salmons led Chicago with 35, Derrick Rose had 28, and Brad Miller added 23 for Chicago, who looks to close Boston out in its own building tomorrow night.
