Before Thursday's Game 6 of his team's Eastern Conference semifinal series, coach Doc Rivers told the Boston Celtics he was headed to Orlando regardless of how the rest of the series played out with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But he was hopeful his charges would be joining him in The City Beautiful.

After dispatching the top-seeded LeBrons in six games, Rivers is indeed heading home to Orlando, but there's plenty of work to accomplish before he can dust off his golf clubs as the Celtics prepare to clash with the Magic in the conference finals.

4. Balanced output
5. Keeping their eye on the prize
