Talk about a turning point.
The Boston Celtics rallied back from a 17-point deficit early in Game 1 versus the Washington Wizards, with a corner 3-pointer from Jae Crowder in the third quarter giving the C's their first advantage.
Naturally, Crowder had to turn around and flex on the Wizards.
The home team didn't let up from there, going on a huge run and ending the frame with a 95-80 lead.
History suggests the swing bodes very well for Boston, which has collected 55 straight playoff wins when up 15 entering the final quarter.
