150 teams have tried before them and failed...and the Boston Celtics have made it 151 - unable to overturn a 3-nil deficit in the NBA's eastern conference finals

No team in NBA history has overturned a three-nil deficit to win a series although the Celtics had rallied to 3-all against the Miami Heat.

Miami face the Denver Nuggets in the NBA finals starting Friday.
