Basketball: Nba playoffs, tonight game-7 between Miami and Boston, whoever wins goes to the Finals

Miami, May 29 – (Adnkronos) – The Golden State Warriors are waiting to know which team will face the San Francisco franchise starting next June 2nd in the Nba Finals: Miami or Boston? A wonderful race-7 will decide it, live tonight starting at 2.30 on Sky Sport Uno and Sky Sport Nba. It will be the second time that Boston and Miami have come face to face in an inside or outside match for both – after the 2012 win with coach Spoelstra on the bench against the Celtics. First there was LeBron James, this time it will be Jimmy Butler’s turn to take on the role of the protagonist and the driver: the home factor rewards the Heat, but in this series both Miami and Boston have won two away wins each.
But the story doesn’t lie: the teams involved away from home have a record of 34-110, with a 23.6% win rate in Game-7. “What is the level of tension in a game like this from zero to ten? I would say 11, if it were on the scale, ”Jayson Tatum points out. It will be the fifth race-7 in his career for Tatum, who averaged 24 points in games like this from inside or outside: a record in the Celtics roster, despite his young age (and still a long way to go). On the Heat roster, on the other hand, there are two players who in the past have already scored 30+ points in a game: Kyle Lowry scored 35 against Miami in 2016, while Victor Oladipo made 30 in 2018 in a game-7 lost against the Cavaliers of a wild LeBron James.
What will make the difference will be Jimmy Butler’s physical condition and how long his legs will resist after the enormous effort in Game-6: will he be able to play another MVP game? Will Miami find anyone who can help him out? On the other hand, Boston hopes to return to the NBA finals after 12 years, leading to the definitive consecration of a group that – in the event of a further misstep – would bring with it a strong sense of unfinished after the many missed opportunities.
