C's aren't likely to pull off a miracle ending here. their best chance is that the thuggery of Howard gets called out before the next game and the refs make it a point to keep him in line. that, and they need Perk's 2 techs rescinded. the replay of the first on shows he was helping PP up and their hands came apart resulting in the backwards elbow. Hopefully Perk will be available in game 6. Dancing Bear is most likely done for the playoffs.
And thankfully Sheed is keeping them alive in this.
