Throwback: Celtics overcome 0-2 series deficit to win 1969 championship

Thirty-four NBA teams in history have come back from 0-2 series deficits to win their series. The latest was last season when the New York Knicks blew a 2-0 series lead against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. So obnoxious Knicks fans might want to dial back on feeling too confident right now despite the 92.7% series winning percentage of teams that go up 2-0. The 1969 Boston Celtics who famously came back from a 0-2 deficit in the NBA Finals to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in 7 games are today's Throwback.
