They cut the lead to 17 and the crowd erupted like they had tied it. Myself being the type of dork that loves to study crowds and the impact they have on games, it sounded like they took it up a notch. I had been pouring over the ticket market this week hoping to attend one of the games and I noticed the prices were much steeper for game two. The rare 8:30 start time and it being a Thursday night presumably allowed people to drink and still get to the game on time. It's funny because I think it was Ilyasova who was talking about the difference between the Boston crowd and the Miami crowd. I'll hand it to them being a non-Boston sports fan who lives in the area - for all the winning they've done, it can get about as loud as it does anywhere for the Bruins, Celtics, and Sox. The Patriots are a different scene but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and and chalk it up in part to acoustics. [/QUOTE]
