As the Celtics keep chipping away against the Miami Heat, comparisons to the 2004 Red Sox continue to grow by the day.
The 2004 Red Sox, of course, famously overcame an 0-3 series deficit to outlast the Yankees in seven games and ultimately capture their first World Series in 86 years.
The 2023 Celtics fell in an 0-3 hole against the Heat and found a way to win Game 4 on Tuesday and Game 5 on Thursday. They’re two wins away from becoming the first team in NBA history to advance after dropping the first three games of a series.
