After winning the first three road Game 7s in team history, the Celtics have lost the last four, with the most recent defeat coming against the Heat in the 2012 conference finals after Miami staved off elimination with a Game 6 win in Boston.

The Celtics have won two elimination matchups during the playoffs. Jayson Tatum scored 46 points on the road in Milwaukee to win Game 6 of the second round. The C's returned home and beat the Bucks emphatically in Game 7, but that was at home.
