NBA playoffs: Celtics roll over Heat, again, to force Game 6 in Eastern Conference finals

The Boston Celtics have officially made things interesting in the Eastern Conference finals.

The Celtics, after falling into a historically insurmountable 0-3 series hole, picked up their second straight dominant win on Thursday night at TD Garden. They rolled past the Miami Heat 110-97 in Game 5 of the series in Boston, which forced a Game 6 on Saturday night in South Florida.

While no team has ever successfully rallied from a 0-3 series deficit before, and the Celtics have a long way to go to actually get that done and reach their second straight NBA Finals, their last two wins at least show that they’re capable of pulling that feat off.
