Game 5 running II
May 28th, 2008 by Bill Burt
It appears Sam Cassell has played his final minutes of this series. The defense and pace is too much. He was yanked immediately after less than two minutes into the second quarter (the only two minutes he played) after losing the ball to Lindsey Hunter, leading to a dunk. This came right after another Detroit basket. Rondo, who had two fouls, replaced him.
***
Ray Allen appears to have found his place. He hit his second 3-pointer from 25 feet away to give C’s first lead of the second quarter (44-42).
***
Perkins is the real deal tonight. With the score 47-43 in C’s favor, he has 12 points and 13 rebounds. Wow.
