Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (1 of 5)

PART 1 of 5 [12:00-9:55]
Presented here is the entire final period of Game 3 of the 2002 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, in which the Boston Celtics orchestrated the greatest 4th quarter comeback in NBA Playoff history at the FleetCenter in Boston (a.k.a. "The Jungle") against the New Jersey Nets. The Celtics erased a seemingly insurmountable 21-point deficit to stun the Nets (who nonetheless went on to win the series).
