NBA's official injury report 

Right now, the Nets are the only team in the entire playoffs that is in such a hole. 

No team in the history of the NBA has overcome a 3-0 deficit, so they will have to figure out how to work some magic, otherwise this will be one of the most disappointing teams in league history. 

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant will have yet to make it out of the second-round as teammates, while head coach Steve Nash could be on a very hot seat or even fired. 

As for the Celtics, they have played fantastic and Jayson Tatum has ascended into superstardom.
