The Boston Celtics are ready to shock the world and tonight they will have a big opportunity to continue that mission.
After winning Games 4 and 5 against the Miami Heat, they’re ready to make another statement as visitors to send the series once again to Boston.
Things are already tense for both teams, but the Celtics know the pressure is on the Heat to close this series out.
Jaylen Brown sent a clear message to the Celtics ahead of this game, making it clear that the team is ready to get another win and go back home for Monday’s game.
"History is at our doorstep, and we gotta respond."
Jaylen Brown talks with @TVAbby about the comparisons to the 2004 Red Sox, among other things.

The Boston Celtics started this series losing three straight games, looking lost on the court, with Jimmy Butler and co. doing whatever they wanted with them.
Now, the tables have turned and the Celtics are playing great basketball, with every player showing up for the team.
As usual, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are leading the charge, but Marcus Smart, Al Horford, Grant Williams, and the rest are also contributing during wins.
As Brown said, the Celtics have a big inspiration from what the Boston Red Sox did against the New York Yankees in 2004, and they’ll try to do the same this year.
This game can be the defining one of the series for each team.
