This Day in Celtics History: Lakers choke, Celtics grab 2008 Finals by the throat

It's hard to believe it's already been a decade, but today marks the 10 year anniversary of the worst Finals game choke-job, as the Boston Celtics came back from down 24 to the Los Angeles Lakers, in Los Angeles, to take a suffocating 3-1 lead in the 2008 NBA Finals.

Personally, I remember that game vividly. Being an LA native (born and bred here with paternal roots from Belmont, Mass.), my friends naturally root for the Lakers. Hey, nobody's perfect. During that game, I received text after text after text.

I still remember them.
