The Boston Celtics were chasing history in the NBA Finals, as a win would’ve put them in sole possession of most titles in NBA history. They’re currently tied with the Los Angeles Lakers at 17 apiece.
With the team up 2-1 in the series, that pursuit of history was put on front street prior to Game 4 when Boston gave fans in attendance shirts with the words “It’s all about 18” and a picture of 18 banners — the last of which was blank. That obviously backfired as the Warriors went on to win three straight games and take the series. And Draymond Green didn’t forget.
