No team in NBA history has ever managed to overcome a 3-0 deficit and win a playoff series. However, the Celtics, who hold the second seed, have defied the odds by winning the past three games of the best-of-seven series.
Saturday night's game was a nail-biter, with Derrick White's unforgettable tip-in just before the final buzzer, securing an unlikely 104-103 road victory for the Celtics.
Now, the stage is set in Boston, with the winner of Monday's game earning the chance to face the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.
