There was little to separate the teams throughout - but John Wall's three- pointer with 3.5 seconds remaining won it for the hosts and took his match tally to 26 points. 

Wall's teammate Bradley Beal (33) led all scorers, while Avery Bradley and Isaiah Thomas each scored 27 for the Celtics.               

Boston will have home advantage in Tuesday's decider, with the Cleveland Cavaliers awaiting the winners of the TD Garden clash.
