Celtics Can Advance to Conference Finals with Win Tonight

Rajon Rondo

Perimeter Play Could be Key

It took the Boston Celtics (7-4) two tries to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks from the 2012 NBA Playoffs. They hope they can cut that number in half when they try to kick the Philadelphia 76ers (6-5) to the curb for the first time at 8 p.m. tonight in the Wells Fargo Center.

The Celtics have not capitalized on opportunities to eliminate teams from the playoffs over the past five seasons. Since 2007-08, Boston has played 21 games in which it could have eliminated an opponent and gone just 10-11 in those contests.
