Rapid Recap: Nets' talent is too much for the Celtics in Game 2 – far too much

Rapid Recap is designed for the busiest of Celtics fans. Whether you can’t stay awake to read 10 paragraphs or your hangover is just too much, Rapid Recap tells the timeline of the game in only a minute or two.

Celtics-Nets Game 2 was played on the 19th anniversary of the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. Boston erased a 26-point deficit in Game 3 of the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals, and Paul Pierce by himself outscored the Nets 19-16 in the fourth quarter.

Tonight, the Nets went ahead as many as 33 points and, unfortunately, history was not repeated.
