Intro:
Post game reaction after the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat 101-91 on Friday in Boston to trail 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Doc Rivers, Boston Celtics Head Coach:
(On team's energy)
"I just thought our defensive energy overall was good. Our rebounding was terrific in stretches. They didn't get up on to the slips to the basket and the rolls to the basket, like they did in game two in the second half. And so it was in a lot of ways an iso (isolation) game for them, and they missed some shots. But it was iso (isolation), we contested, and that's what we had to do."
Listen, it was great energy all night. And now we have to come back and do it again."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics Guard:
(On keys to Celtics offence)
"It's pretty simple. As long as we get stops, they're cross matching us, switching matchups all the time with different people guarding me, people guarding Paul (Pierce). So, if we can get stops and get down in transition, we're going to cause mismatches. And I just try to find the seams and get into the paint. And when they collapse I just find my teammates."
