The Boston Celtics went on a furious run in the third quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. Unfortunately for them, it just wasn't enough as the Dubs still escaped with a 104-94 victory to take a 3-2 advantage in the series.

After another disappointing loss, Celtics head coach Ime Udoka pointed to one thing in particular. According to the 44-year-old shot-caller, what doomed Boston in Game 5 was their inability to stay the course:

“For us, it's really about consistency,” said Udoka, via Taylor Snow of NBA.com. “That's the thing we're not having throughout a full game, is consistent efforts, sustained effort, more so offensively than anything. That's the part where we got to have carryover not only game to game but quarter to quarter, where we saw it happened in the third but not the fourth.”

It seemed like the Celtics couldn't miss in the third quarter. Come the final period, though, it's as if they ran out of gas. Ultimately, the Warriors were able to outscore them, 29-20, in the fourth. Simply put, Boston put themselves in a position to win, but they just lacked that one final push.

The Celtics will need to leave everything on the floor on Thursday in Game 6. They will be hoping that they get a chance to return to Golden State for a Game 7.
