Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics came out with a tremendous performance in Game 6 against the defending champs Milwaukee Bucks to force a Game 7 at the TD Garden on Sunday. If you look at history, however, there's a looming LeBron James omen that isn't exactly in the favor of the Celtics.
As it turns out, Sunday's do-or-die battle will be the first Game 7 hosted by Boston since 2018. The last time the Celtics hosted a Game 7 at home was four years ago against LeBron James and the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals (h/t Celtics reporter Chris Grenham).
Unfortunately for Tatum and Co., that game did not end well for them. LeBron and the Cavs took the victory en route to booking their place in the Finals against the Golden State Warriors. The Celtics, however, will look to turn things around on Sunday when they host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks in what should be an epic Game 7 matchup.
Everything will be on the line in Game 7 with the prize being a date with the red-hot Miami Heat in the East Finals. Fasten your seatbelts folks, that's going to be a good one.
