Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat, Game 7: what time and how to watch it | Unmissable definition in the NBA, after the green miracle of the sixth game

Los Boston Celtics they were one step away from the miracle and They will seek this Monday to make an unprecedented comeback against the Miami Heatin Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

It seemed that the Celtics’ dream was collapsing this Saturday night when, with three seconds to play, Jimmy Butler made the third of his free throws to put the Heat up 103-102 in Game 6with the series 3 to 2 in favor of Miami.

But in one last play of mystical overtonesMarcus Smart – Boston’s fourth offensive option – took the saving throw, the ball danced over the rim and guard Derrick White went with his “barely” 1.93 meters to take the offensive rebound and score the double of the Celtics’ victory as visitors to thus force the seventh game.

The thing will be defined this Monday at 9:30 p.m. (Argentine time; ESPN television) in Bostonwhich now has the historic possibility of turning around a playoff series after being down three games, something that never happened in NBA history in 150 series played.

Those who were closest were three, upon reaching a 3-3 tie but losing the seventh game: New York Knicks (3) vs. Rochester Royals (4) in 1951; Denver Nuggets (3) vs. Utah Jazz (4) in 1994; and Portland Trail Blazers (3) vs. Dallas Mavericks (4) in 2003.

It is worth remembering that the NBA playoff series is best of seven gamesso the final winner must win four times.

Boston’s 104-103 victory over Miami was the first for the Celtics in these playoffs in tight fashionsince for now they had been winning comfortably and losing all the matches that were even at the end.

In any case, the Celtics were very erratic in the last quarter against Miami, after leading for almost the entire game, so nothing is guaranteed for Game 7 against a completely diminished Heat after blowing three straight chances to close out the series and at the gates of a historical paper.

Boston’s offensive leaders in this series are Jayson Tatum (27,2 puntos) y Jaylen Brown (19,0) although in recent games the contributions of Marcus Smart (13,8) y Derrick White (13,7).

The stars stand out in Miami Jimmy Butler (24,2) y Bam Adebayo (15,3) -of very weak performances in the series of defeats- and the role players Caleb Martin (18,2), Gabe Vincent (17,0) y Duncan Robinson (11,3).
