The Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat 116-99 to avoid elimination and keep their hopes for the NBA finals alive.
The Celtics were down 3-0 in the series against the Heat and are seeking to win three more to move on to the finals.
No team has ever made a comeback from a 3-0 deficit in NBA history. (149-0)
Even though Miami was up 3-0 in the series, they still must win 4 games to advance to the NBA Finals.
The winner of this series will play the Western Conference Champions, Denver Nuggets, who are making their first-ever NBA Finals appearance as a franchise after defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals.
The Heat and Celtics will take Game 5 back to TD Garden where the Celtics will try to force a Game 6 to stay alive once again and attempt to pull off the unthinkable.
Tune in to Game 5 on Thursday, May 25, at 8:30 p.m. airing live on TNT.
