Celtics-Nets Game 2 was played on the 19th anniversary of the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. Boston erased a 26-point deficit in Game 3 of the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals, and Paul Pierce by himself outscored the Nets 19-16 in the fourth quarter.
Tonight, the Nets went ahead as many as 33 points and, unfortunately, history was not repeated.
