32-0
Astonishing sports fact of the night, from the New York Times:
Meanwhile, in the other Game 7 of what promises to be a fun Sunday, the Lakers will have all the pressure on them. To even be taken to a Game 7 by a Yao-less and McGrady-less Rockets team after winning 65 games...that's embarrassing.
[The Celtics] have closed out three Game 7’s in the last two postseasons and are 32-0 when leading a series by 3-2.Wow. If you were 6-0 or 7-0, OK, strong but no big deal. After all, you were up 3-2 in every series. But to do it 32 times over a franchise's history? To never lose Games 6 and 7 in that many tries? Crazy. They'll have a chance to make that 33-0 on Sunday night against Orlando. I've been rooting against Boston so far in these playoffs, but now I'm not so sure. Celtics-Cavs might have more epic potential than Magic-Cavs. Hmmm....

I've also found these stats interesting, but how meaningful is it, really? Obviously, most of those 32 times were in different eras with completely different rosters. How does a Larry Bird-led Celtics have any bearing on a Paul Pierce-led Celtics, other than sharing the same colors?
Cavs-Celtics would be epic IF Kevin Garnett were on the floor.
