“From 0-3 to 4-3: Unprecedented Comebacks in MLB, NHL, and Possibly NBA”

From 0-3 to 4-3 in MLB and NHL

In the NBA, no team has therefore gone from 0-3 to 4-3 in the play-offs. On Monday, at home, the Boston Celtics may achieve an unprecedented performance against the Miami Heat. In MLB, on the other hand, the Boston Red Sox achieved the feat in 2004 of eliminating the New York Yankees – their biggest rival – in seven games, after losing the first three in the league final. This series has entered the mythology of US sports. Especially since Boston was then crowned champion for the first time in 86 years. In the NHL, the 0-3/4-3 scenario has been successful four times: Toronto in 1942 (in the final), the New York Islanders in 1975, Philadelphia in 2010 and Los Angeles in 2014. The latter will be crowned champion this year- there.
