The Boston Celtics are on the verge of making history.
Teams facing a 0-3 deficit in an NBA playoff series were 149-0 before this season, and they have a legit shot at making that 149-1.
Joe Mazzulla’s team had its back against the wall after the first three games of the series, but they’ll now head back home for a must-win game to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals.
And according to Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young, the Heat stand no chance after what went down in the past three games.
Boston gonna beat Miami now .. it’s over!😂

Of course, some took offense at Young’s comments and made fun of him for sharing his thoughts despite him being eliminated from playoff contention already, but he’s entitled to share his thoughts as much as any other fan.
The Heat overmatched, outcoached, and outhustled the Celtics in the first three games, and it wasn’t even close.
The Celtics’ body language made us all feel like they had given up already, but they regrouped and took care of business one game at a time.
Everything has gone Boston’s way ever since, up to the point where Derrick White had one of the most memorable and shocking game-winners in the history of this league to force Game 7.
Obviously, all the momentum has shifted back in Boston’s way and all the pressure is on the Heat’s shoulders to take care of business on the road, and winning at the TD Garden of all places might be one of the toughest tasks any rival team could even think of.
