On the night of May 30, the seventh game of the last play-off series in the Eastern Conference was played between Boston and Miami.

As you know, the Celtics lost the first three fights, but then the overall score was even. This brought them closer to a historic feat, because never before in NBA history had a team won by a 0-3 streak. Boston lost game seven (84:103) and with that, lost the series 3-4.

However, “Boston” became the fourth team to equalize after 0-3 but lost in the decisive match. Before that, the Knicks did it in 1951, Denver in 1994, and Portland in 2003.

Having won the decisive match, Miami advanced to the playoff finals where they faced Denver, who confidently defeated the Lakers (4-0) in the Western final.
