GIF Highlights of the Celtics’ Incredible 21-Point Comeback

The Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers will meet again tonight for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The series was widely assumed to be “over” after Cleveland amassed a 51-point lead in Game 2 and took a 2-0 series lead heading back to Cleveland, but the Celtics had other plans. Without star player Isaiah Thomas in Game 3, who has been sidelined for the playoffs with a hip injury, the Celtics began a 21-point comeback in the third quarter and silenced the raucous crowd in Cleveland, who understandably expected the Cavs to sweep the series. Let’s take a look at the critical shots made by Boston in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
