Catch the comeback again
In case you missed it, and many of you did, the Celtics comeback in the second half of last night's game will be on TV again this weekend.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Celtics and Lakers will be rebroadcast in its entirety on ESPN Classic at 8 p.m. on Saturday night.



Thank you for posting that information. I fell asleep.
If you missed it, you missed it.
Thanks for posting. I had turned off the TV in the second quarter and given up on the Cs.
You can also download the game from nba.com.
Cost for a single game $2.99.
The file is about 1.25GB.
I'm glad i kept with it; an Instant Classic that everyone should be able to enjoy before Game 4!
In Kansas City, MO, the thunderstorms had caused the weatherman at ABC to be on for almost the entirety of the first half so I'm happy I missed that torturing time. I was thrilled to be able to watch the greatest comeback in my lifetime by an NBA team and I'm looking forward to watching this one again.
Great teams find a way to win!
Thanks a lot David Stern and your NBA broadcast partners. I fell asleep and missed the ending because the game is so late. Your greed caused many Celtics fans to miss this classic. 9:00pm is too late for the game to start.
what's the link for nba.com 's download purchase?
Amazes me how many people gave up on it! It was around 3.30 - 4.00am local time here when we were down but no way was I giving up on it -- not in the finals and not with this Celtics team.
As the 3rd quarter started my son went to bed but I had a feeling the Celts would pull out a win--so I watched the whole thing. Allen was terrific.
Real Celtic fans wouldn't be fallling asleep or giving up based on the history of great comebacks like the Celtics.
A terrific decision to show the game again. If you missed it, you will definitely want to watch. One of the best games ever.
Here's the link for the download from NBA.com:

Game 5 should be on at 3:30pm on the 15th. The NBA sold out just like baseball.
i was flying back from LV during the game. The Pilot gave us periodic updates during the flight. Most of them were clearly met with groans, until he announced a 2 point defeicit at the end of the third quarter. He announced the final score just before we touched down at logan and a cheer erupted throughout the plane.
It'll be nice to actually see it now.
To watch this game again, knowing the amazing ending of this unbelievable game will not be the same experience. I stayed watching the original broadcast all the way through, even when the Lakers piled on points after points and the chance of a Celtics win seemed remote. There was no way the Celtics (or any other team) could win this game, but I thought I wanted to see how this team would respond in such a dire situation. And they endured and prevailed in such an inspiring way. The exhilaration following this improbable Celtics' victory was the prize for staying up late and watching it through to the end. I don't think anyone knew how great this team was until this game. One more win and we celebrate one of the best teams ever.
Just a hunch, but I don't think that too many Laker fans will be tuning in to that one. What an incredible game! Since it is on a Saturday night and on at 8pm I will even have my kids watch the game. Imagine that, children watching an NBA finals game -what a novel concept. The NBA should be ashamed of itself with these greed-driven late start games, particularly on school nights. My kids haven't been able to even watch any of these games.
I'm a little sick of hearing people complain about not staying up. So you had to stay up late 4 nights out of the year, big deal. These are the NBA Finals! We've waited 21 years for this. I'm sure you stay up this late several times a year over pointless things. There is no way to set the time to make it fair for anyone; there is a three hour time difference. Imaging the games starting at 5 here. We would all be complaining that the start time is too early and it doesn't give us time to get out of work and watch the game. That's what would happen in L.A. if the games started any earlier. I went to game 1 and if it hadn't started at 9 I would have been late because of work. If you're a true fan you would've stayed up. If not, it shouldn't be a big problem to you if you missed it.
i stayed up and watch it... and i am gonna watch it again tonight!!! to keep the night going til sunday night
IS IT SUNDAY YET?
GO CELTICS!!!! bring it home!!!
