1/27/2013The celebration after Boston turned back the Miami Heat in two overtimes on Sunday was muted quickly.

Major injuries to superstars have cast a dark cloud over recent NBA seasons (Blake Griffin's kneecap in 2010, Derrick Rose's knee last year), and Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Kevin Love have missed major chunks of this season. But it will mostly haunt Boston: The Celtics are clinging to the eighth and last Eastern Conference playoff spot at the moment. [Source]
