While it might seem like it was preordained in retrospect, for a hot second on June 12, 2008, it seemed the Boston Celtics’ hopes to win Banner 17 might be about to go sideways when they fell into a deep hole early against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals.
A 35-14 deficit in the first quarter soon became a 24-point chasm by the second half. The Celtics’ hopes of taking a 3-1 series lead seemed out of the question. But with the benefit of hindsight, we know that is not what happened. Boston instead mounted a historic comeback to win, 97-91.
To talk about that fateful night, former Celtic James Posey recently sat down to talk over the historic comeback with Basketball News.com.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear his memory of that magic night.
