It is also the anniversary of a 93-91 overtime win over the Miami Heat in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals as a last-second shot by Heat guard Dwyane Wade failed to fall.
“Red wasn’t going to let that go in. Not in the Boston Garden,” related head coach Doc Rivers via ESPN.
Point guard Rajon Rondo was particularly clutch for the Celtics, scoring 15 points and as many rebounds, including the team’s final three points in overtime to even the series at two games each.
Forward Paul Pierce led the team with 23 points and 6 rebounds, and big man Kevin Garnett added 17 points and 14 rebounds.
