Found this in the Boston Globe:
Since Game 4 of the ALCS, when the Red Sox were down 3-1 to the Indians, the Sox, Pats and Celts have a combined record of 43-3. The three losses have been by one point, in OT and two points on a (totally valid) call with one-tenths of a second left in a tie game. That loss to the Detroit Pistons is the only time anyone has seen one of those three teams lost a game at home since October 17.
If you live in Boston you're loving this. I wish I had a comparison of jersey sales before this streak and now. I'm no economist, but I think it's safe to say sales of tickets, jerseys, merchandise and the always-important pride fans feel for their teams are up up up up in Boston right now.
They say winning can solve a lot of problems for a reason. It's true.
