Five reasons the Boston Celtics have stormed back and won three straight games

The Boston Celtics not only won their first home playoff game this season, they were the first home team this series to win. After being down 0-2, the Celtics didn’t panic, and now lead the series 3-2 heading back to Chicago.

Now, some may claim this resurgence from the Celtics is only due do Bulls PG Rajon Rondo being out. The Bulls won both games in Boston with Rondo, without him they have dropped three straight to the Celtics.
