Who would have predicted Memorial Day would have had so many great sporting events to choose from? A near full slate of games in the MLB, a Western Conference final in the NHL, and a highly anticipated Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals in the NBA. Monday’s Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat had a particular intrigue because of the possible historic ramifications.
After heading out to a 3-0 series lead, Miami allowed the Celtics to tie the series at three games apiece heading into Monday’s game. No team in NBA had ever gone down three games and won a best-of-seven series.
