Boston Celtics Trying to Become First NBA Team to Overcome 3-0 Deficit
In 2004, the Boston Red Sox became the first team in Major League Baseball history to come back from an 0-3 deficit in the postseason, winning games 4, 5, 6, and 7 against the New York Yankees to reach the World Series, where they swept St. Louis. The Red Sox’ manager that year was Terry Francona.
This year, the Boston Celtics are trying to become the first NBA team to accomplish the same feat. The Celtics’ coach, Joe Mazzulla, is trying to dispatch the Miami Heat in his first season with the team.
