Take the Celtics
I like the Celtics to force this to a deciding Game #7 and cover the spread. The Celtics were beginning to take control of Game #5 when they came out and dominated the third quarter, a quarter in previous games that the Warriors had owned. At the end of the quarter the Warriors threw up a 3 that banked in and that seemed to change things headed into the fourth. The Celtics had some calls that didn't go their way and I believe the Warriors got into their head. Now, as the series shifts to Boston, the crowd will be behind the home team Celtics. I don't believe the Celtics will be baited into the antics of this Warriors team. As a matter of fact, they will use that as motivation. Boston will play inspired basketball and force Game #7.
