Boston Celtics Comeback: ’02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (4 of 5)

PART 4 of 5 [2:41-0:29] 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 (aka “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). [Footage courtesy of NBA Entertainment & NBA on NBC.

    Are the Nets really the best that the east could come up with to play against the lakers?? I’d rather have the celtics or pacers play them instead of the nets.

  2. smittyx3 says:

    i think losing this game problably made the nets owners not care anymore and it was apparent in the 2010 season

  3. yokiisthename says:

    Pierce was crazy aggressive here. hope he returns at least half of it this year.

    2002-it could’ve been Lakers-Celtics in the Finals where we didn’t have to wait until 2008 & 2010. But the Celtics blew the 2-1 lead & it was Lakers-Nets instead. But this was during the Paul Pierce-Antoine Walker era,KG was with T-Wolves, Ray Allen w/ Milwaukee, Doc Rivers coaching the Magic & Rajon Rondo was still in high school. If it would’ve been LA-Boston in ’02, it would’ve been a 4-game Laker sweep just like they did to the Nets.

    lol byron scott
    “he intentionally did not talk to his team for a while”
    more like he doesnt know what to do… way to waste a time-out

  6. Kruegerisgod says:

    Byron Scott has seen the C’s in his nightmares.mahahahah

    i hate him 2 he never will be like michal

  9. vincevince38 says:

    bodyofwater shit, what else can I say. If you play basketball, you need to all learn how to dunk, I just recently finished the training program at (50 inch vertical [dot] com) – I wish I did it sooner so I could’ve started dunking in my H.S basketball team (I m only 5 7!)

    Damn, through out the 4th quarter, Celtic’s had numerous key steals right after a defensive rebound by the Nets which easily helped them win this game. I love watching this…lol. Good memories.

  11. BlackaDenBlack says:

    Antoine Walker wen he was at an All-Star level…and wen he wasnt fat and strictly a jumpshooter. Great 2 see a young, fresh Pierce

  12. cavalierfan1995 says:

    i was in a bowling alley watching this game and could not belive what i saw go celtics!

  13. myke679 says:

    they won this game on free throws. all the young ballers out there….practice those free throws. games are lost by 1 point, and the losing team lost say 14 free throws. Kobe dropped 81 bc he made his free throws

  14. armenia340 says:

    and this is the heart of the Celtics even when they sucked back in the days they still had the heart of the champions when they played

  15. Gastumto says:

    why?

  16. sportygu123 says:

    THIS is why free throws are important..

  17. FireDannyAinge says:

    What a bunch of BS. You weren’t a real Nets fan if you abandoned them when they sucked

  18. Rodzilla97 says:

    aron williams was the only NJ players that battled in that quarter, he busted his ass. everyone else was horrible. i was so pissed when i watched this live, i was a huge nets fan for years. lookin back this game is classic. now i’m a fan of any team who beats LA (no fav for 09), boston in 08 i loved. 2004 pistons, 06 07 phx, etc. i hate kobe badly

  19. daihin2000 says:

    some touch foul on kidd late in the game….

  20. pats14fann01 says:

    Has anyone noticed that the Nets didnt score another point with 2:29 left in the game?
    The final 10 pts were scored by the Celtics.

  21. DonVilla10 says:

    Interesting game……… But the Lakersstill won that year hahahaha

  22. mjazgun says:

    true, better was game 4 @ 2008 nba finals muahahah.

  23. nakedfist14 says:

    fool

  24. tubenachos says:

    Got to be one of the ugliest comebacks in history.

  25. JAYLOVE47 says:

    Boston has some of the loudest fans ever…Philly does too

  26. Zachisgod92 says:

    @kellisatard what about the 95 bulls? or the 2001 lakers? Celtics are my fav team btw :)

  27. sayedmushtari says:

    they will redeem themselves to the horrible lost they had last years. FUCK THE RAPERS!!!!!!!

  28. Classic334 says:

    Pierce – Allen – Garnett = 3 more Legends for the Celtics. Rondo is on his way aswell. See what the Robinson,Shaq and Jo gonna do.

    Defo in final again budz.

  29. MRmatthieu49 says:

    even though celtics lost, i think they had the best playoff run in the whole league. celtics will have banner 18 in 2011

  30. Marcster564 says:

    too bad the celtics couldn’t do it this last year.

  35. kdsbgf says:

  38. Jiltedin2007 says:

    Larry Bird’s not coming through that door, Kevin McHale’s not coming through that door, Robert Parish not coming through that door. Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Sam Jomes, Dave Cowens, John Havlichek or Cedrick Maxwell is not coming through that door either.

  39. Jiltedin2007 says:

    @kellisatard In the Regular Season, when they did go 40-1 at Home. But the 2001 Lakers were the Best Playoff Team Ever. 15-1 overall!

  40. draftpick07 says:

    @ptr37 Celtics are a more complete team but it would be false to say the miami heat have no team at all. I think u forget about Udonis Haslem, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Carlos Arroyo + I think Cry Baby would cry again when Dexter Pittman stands on the floor. If u look this players up you will see what i am talking about …

  41. Harvey7436 says:

    PalomoLv seriously if I, have the ability to dunk, then even you can, I am only 5ft 7inchs for godsake! Basically be dedicated to a working jump course like this one (50 inch vertical [dot] com), it’ll help to increase your jump/rebounding and your first step in basketball.

  42. FrshNFamous says:

    draftpick07 ikr i think that the celtics are done now :D
    My new team is the Heat xD

  43. ptr37 says:

    @draftpick07 agreed that their big 3 is better now in MIA, HOWEVER….the rest of the TEAM is not as good as the ’08 Celts quite yet. they have also yet to play a game…so they are just paper champions for now.

  44. draftpick07 says:

    @FrshNFamous best starting lineup in basketball history just moved to miami, can you feel the heat? I am not hating on celtics, i even hoped they would win this finals. Their team is complete, but i doubt they will be able to stop dwayne wade, lebron, miller, lebron, …

  45. Jackie34180 says:

    PalomoLv I am an amazing 5’9 white guy and I can easily dunk easily. Anybody can easily do it, just follow the right training course. I personally used the one over at “50inch vertical (dot) com” but any workout is fine if they work that is… lol
