With 0.2 seconds remaining in the game the Boston Celtics season was saved by a Derrick White tip-in and with that the chance to make history as well.
The Miami Heat this Monday will look to avoid becoming MLB’s New York Yankees of 2004 by not blowing a 3-0 best of seven series lead.
In that ‘04 AL Championship series New York took a commanding 3-0 lead over the Boston Red Sox only to lose 4 straight games and the pennant. Coming back from 3-0 had never been done before in baseball.
Also what has never been done is a NBA team rallying from a 0-3 deficit. Teams are 150-0 when up and the Heat are looking to avoid being the first team to choke that away.
Boston is the city of champions but can they become the city of 0-3 overcoming?
