The largest Eastern Conference playoff comeback happened 22 years ago today.
. Led by Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, and Keith Van Horn, New Jersey came into what is now TD Garden, in a tied, 1-1 series to face Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker.
With just under a minute remaining, the Celtics cut the lead to one. Pierce drove the basket and got fouled. The lead was gone shortly after, hitting two clutch free throws. The Nets continued to fold, turning the ball over for a Kenny Anderson layup . The comeback stands as the largest in Eastern Conference playoff history, and second-largest in NBA history. The top spot belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers, erasing an incredible, 31-point deficit from the Golden State Warriors to win Game 2 of the first round in the Western Conference.
