MIAMI — The most improbable run in Heat playoff history now sits on the cusp of something that seemed unimaginable five weeks ago: a berth in the NBA Finals.
The Heat’s thoroughly dominant -- and dominantly thorough –- 128-102 Game 3 trouncing of the Boston Celtics on Sunday night left Miami ahead 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals and just one win away from the franchise’s seventh Finals appearance since 2006.
NBA teams that take a 3-0 lead in a best-of-seven series are 149-0 all time.
