As the Boston Celtics tried to close out their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Washington Wizards on Friday, one of their players had extra motivation to win on the night, as he knew winning on the road is a huge achievement.
Their starting shooting guard, Avery Bradley, shared that he wanted to experience once again closing out a series inside their opponent's home arena, which he says is the best feeling for him as a player. He also believed that they are capable of doing it, just like what they did in the previous round versus the Chicago Bulls.

As it turned out, John Wall had a different plan, preventing Bradley him to celebrate inside the Verizon Center. The four-time All-Star knocked down a game-winning three-pointer with 3.5 second left, that forced a do-or-die Game 7 on Monday.
If there's any good news for Bradley and the Celtics, they still have the opportunity to eliminate their rivals at home, where their fans are expected to cheer them on as loud as ever. If they win, the euphoria may be different for him as it would not be on the road anymore, but if there's anything certain at this point, Bradley won't mind doing it inside TD Garden, as long as the C's advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
