BOSTON – After a miraculous buzzer-beater in Game 6, the Boston Celtics had a chance to make NBA history on their home turf on Monday night.
But they didn’t.
“We failed. I failed. We let the whole city down,” said Jaylen Brown.
The Celtics went down 0-3 to the Miami Heat but ripped off three-straight wins after that, forcing a Game 7 at home. TD Garden was buzzing from the jump, but on the first play of the game, the entire course of the night was changed.
Jayson Tatum went down with an ankle injury.
