Celtics stuns Miami in nail-biter finish, guarantees epic Game 7 Monday
At the end of this year’s Eastern Conference Finals Game 6, all that was important, and all that would be remembered was Derrick White’s put back, with less than a second on the clock to win the game for the Boston Celtics 104-103 over the Miami Heat, which guarantees a game 7 Monday night at the TD Garden, in Boston.
It would seem as though the improbable now seems inevitable. Let us not forget that Boston was down 3-0 in this series, and their superstars didn’t record a single fourth-quarter field goal in the first 3 games.
Celtics continue their impressive run when facing elimination (5-0), with all of their stars peaking at the right time, in the right moments. While they started the game without the inclusion of Malcolm Brogdon, Tatum finished with 31 points, Brown with 26, and Smart with 21. White had an impressive 11 points, 8 of which came in the fourth quarter, inclusive of 2 big three-pointers and a put-back that would never escape the minds of basketball fans, the world over.
The story for Miami for the last 3 games will be Bam Adebayo, it seems as though every we submit the report, his stats are dismal. He had 11 points and 13 in 46 minutes of play, only adding 2 points in the fourth quarter.
Jimmy Butler finished with 24 points shooting an inefficient 23.8% percent from the field, but added 15 points in the fourth quarter, including 3 clutch free throws that almost ensured Miami advanced to the NBA finals. Gabe Vincent came back and added 15 points, shooting 50% on threes while Caleb Martin added 21 points for the Heat.
