MIAMI (AP) — Maybe Kevin Garnett was right. Maybe, as he screamed in celebration of Boston’s 2008 NBA championship, anything truly is possible.Even the impossible.The Celtics are halfway to history, and that alone has gotten them entry into a very small club. Of the first 150 teams that trailed a best-of-seven series 3-0 in NBA history, just 14 — 9.3% — found a way to extend the matchup to Game 6. None of them have won the series, and most are usually eliminated by now.Not the Celtics. They have cut the deficit in the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat to 3-2, simultaneously trailing the series yet seeming to have all the momentum going into Game 6 in Miami on Saturday night.“Obviously, we didn’t imagine being in this position, being down 3-0, but when adversity hits, you get to see like what a team is really made of,” Celtics forward Jaylen Brown said. “I mean, it couldn’t get no worse than being down 3-0, but we didn’t look around, we didn’t go in separate ...A real ‘smoking gun’: TSA agents come across ‘replica pistol hookah’ at Logan Airport

After producing a strong regular season, the postseason has been uneven for Derrick White. He was one of the Celtics’ best players in the Hawks series, but struggled some against the 76ers and lost his place in the starting lineup.But this Celtics team is at its best when a fully confident White is playing well. He returned to the starting lineup for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals as Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla searched for answers to his stagnant offense. In Game 5, White made it clear that he’s one of the biggest keys if the Celtics will finish off a historic comeback against the Heat.White played his all-around best game of the playoffs in the victory. He scored a team-high 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting, which included six 3-pointers. But his defense may have been even better. White was relentless on that side of the ball, making life uncomfortable for a Heat team that had been far too comfortable to start to this series, and his play was critical for a dominant Celtics ...Revolution midfielder Emmanuel Boateng to make sixth straight start
