No team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit, but on Thursday night at TD Garden, the Boston Celtics looked as if they could end that seemingly unbreakable streak against the Miami Heat. In a wire-to-wire victory flowing from Boston’s elite defense, the Heat never had a chance in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference finals.
Can the Celtics do the (at least until now) impossible? How did they win Game 5? What do they need to keep doing to take Game 6 in Miami? And can they keep their mind in the present, avoiding looking past the Heat?
