Kevin Millar has an important message for the Celtics ahead of Game 5 against Heat

There have been 150 teams in NBA history that have fallen into an 0-3 deficit in a playoff series.

The Celtics are looking to be the first basketball squad to come back and win their round against such daunting odds.

The math may not be in their favor, but the Celtics are getting some words of encouragement from another Boston-based squad that accomplished such an undertaking.

Ahead of the Celtics’ Game 5 matchup against the Miami Heat on Thursday night, former Red Sox first baseman Kevin Millar offered up a familiar rallying cry.

Millar and the 2004 Red Sox became the first team in MLB history to erase an 0-3 deficit when they came back to beat the Yankees in the ALCS.
