The Boston Celtics should be thanking the Miami Heat

Related Topics: Boston Celtics, Miami Heat

After an intense seven game series, the Miami Heat avoided being on the wrong side of history by being the first team in league history to blow a 3-0 lead in a playoff series. Credit to the Boston Celtics for not giving up in this series. It would have been easy for them to surrender after they had trailed three games. It certainly seemed like that would be the case after their blowout loss in Game 3.

That is exactly why the Celtics should be thanking the Heat.

Although Boston is justifiably upset for not winning the series, Miami brought something out of them that would only have happened after being punched in the mouth in the first three games.
