WHAT A rally from Boston.
Just when it looked like a GSW win was in the bag, a gritty run from the Celtics turned the game around in what Associated Press' Tim Reynolds called "the most lopsided fourth quarter in NBA history."

Among the engineers behind the Celtics' rally was center Al Horford, who made six three-point shots and finished with 26 points.
Horford is, improbably, in the global Twitter trending charts as of posting, with more than 35,000 tweets to his name.
