The Boston Celtics are hoping to avoid being swept out of the NBA Eastern Conference finals tonight in Miami.
The Celtics are down three games to none to the Heat after being blown out in Game Three on Sunday night by a score of 128-to-102.
While no NBA team has ever won a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games, Boston fans don't need to be reminded that it has happened in other sports.
The Red Sox were down three games to none to the Yankees in 2004 before they rallied to break the Curse of the Bambino and eventually win that year's World Series.
The winner of the Eastern Conference finals will meet the Denver Nuggets for the NBA Championship.
