“Celtics on the Brink of Historic Comeback Against Miami in NBA Playoffs”

When the Floridas won the first three meetings in a row there was much more thought of a sweep than a single success for the Massachusettsns, but they won not one, but three in succession, to force the decisive seventh tonight.

The TD Garden can witness a historic event, since no team in the almost hundred-year history of the NBA managed to come back from 0-3 in the postseason, and the Celtics are one step away from achieving it in front of their audience, which even gives them some favoritism.

Achieving what has been done so far is already an emotional pull that tips the scales in their favor, and if home field advantage is added, it would not be surprising if they went down in the annals of the NBA.

In addition, this would put Boston as the city of incredible comebacks, since adding up all the great sports in the United States, only once was a 0-3 reversed, and it was also there, with the Red Sox of baseball.

That historic moment also served to definitively bury the so-called Curse of the Bambino, which kept the city without baseball titles for decades.

Can the Celtics repeat against Miami what the Red Sox did against the New York Yankees?
