After storming out to a 3-0 lead and taking control of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Miami Heat have dropped two games in a row to the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics are attempting to do what no team in NBA history has been able to do: win a series after trailing 3-0.
It would be the greatest comeback in NBA history if they’re able to pull it off, and they look to be gaining confidence with each win in the series.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith says it is a real possibility that the Celtics could win this series, and that the Heat need to watch out in Game 6.

The good news for Miami is that they have one more chance to close the series out at home in Game 6. The Heat have played well at home throughout the entire playoffs, and need only one more win there to make it to the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets.
Smith says the Heat need to win Game 6, because a possible Game 7 on the road in Boston is the worst possible scenario.
“You go to South Beach tomorrow night, and you lose that game and you got to come back to face Jayson Tatum in a Game 7 in Boston? Good luck with that,” Smith said on Friday’s episode of Get Up.
Tatum scored 51 points in Game 7 of the Eastern semis to lift the Celtics over the 76ers, the most points any player has scored in a Game 7 in NBA history.
