So the Orlando Magic finally beat the Celtics last night; thus, preventing an embarrassing sweep in the conference finals. As for Boston fans, I’m sure they’re all holding up just fine, knowing that no NBA team has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit.
Not so for other sports. In baseball, for instance, the Red Sox started their comeback with an extra-inning win over the Yank’s in game 4. In hockey, 3 teams have managed to come back from a 3-0 series deficit. Still fresh on Bostonian minds, is the Bruins’ collapse this year; where Philly started their comeback with an overtime win in game 4.
So I’m sure the fact that last night’s Celtic loss came in overtime hasn’t affected anyone’s confidence.
