WOW! It was a nail biter in the final seconds but the Celtics managed to get the final bucket, winning Game 6 104-103.
The Celtics are now the fourth team in NBA history to come back from down 3-0 in a series to tied 3-3. No NBA team has ever fully escaped the 3-0 hole but with a win Saturday night, Boston now has a chance to change that in Game 7 -- which is Monday back at TD Garden. After dropping the first three games in the series -- to the shock and disappointment of Celtics fans everywhere -- Boston has come storming back, winning the last three games to keep their championship hopes alive this season.Sign up for NECN newsletters.
