With a record 17 titles to their name, the Boston Celtics have had their share of amazing moments in the NBA finals over the decades. The Celtics’ unbelievable triple-overtime victory vs. the Phoenix Suns in Game 5 of the 1976 Finals — often referred to as ‘the greatest game ever played’ — immediately comes to mind.
As does the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history in 2008, which saw Boston overcome a 24-point deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers on their own home court as they took a 3-1 series lead. With the Celtics, there is no shortage of iconic plays one can look back on with wonder.
