The shadow of a historical humiliation hung over the Miami Heat. The amazing comeback of the Celticswho evened the series after losing the first three games, had put him in a more than compromised situation where they were at stake several negative records in a conference final. After this suffered triumph, they will face each other with the Nuggets de Denver in the expected nba finals.
The team of Jimmy Butler (28 points) gave quite a display of character at the TD Garden in Boston to settle the Eastern Conference final by an aggregate of 4-3.
The Celtics, who had won the previous three games, stayed a step of their second consecutive Finals and of being the first team in history to come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs.
From the hand of Butler and the escort Caleb Martin (26 points), the great revelation of this series, Miami overcame the pressure of the 20.000 aficionados at the TD Garden and made a big comeback from Thursday’s home court defeat with a basket in the last second of Derrick White. “We stuck together as a group and a team,” Butler said of how his team lived through the past 48 hours. “We are excited but we still have four more victories to go” for the ring, warned the veteran escort when collecting the trophy as MVP of this tie.
Tatum’s untimely injury, one of the keys
The Heat controlled the game from start to finish and avoided being the first team out of the 150 to have held a 3-0 playoff lead. For its part, Boston was weighed down by the sprained ankle that his star suffered in the first play, Jayson Tatumwho continued playing although with physical limitations and finished the match with 14 points and 11 rebounds in his locker.
his squire, Jaylen Brownhe scored 19 points but with a statistic of 8/23 in field goals and 8 turnovers and was a reflection of the fatal shipwreck of the Celtics from the outside line, with only 9 converted triples of 42 attempts (21.4%) .
Miami was not intimidated by the boston push nor by the pressure cooker of the TD Garden and took revenge after the defeat last year also in the seventh game of this round.
Caleb Martinone of the Miami players who was never drafted, returned to take responsibility before the eyes of his supporter, the legendary Pat Riley. The shooting guard began this series as a backup and has finished it as a staple of the Heat averaging 19 points per night.
With Butler’s support, Martin riddled the rim of some Celtics who no longer found how to respond to the offense and allowed their rival to escape until they took a definitive lead of 23 points (96-73) with less than six minutes to go. , much to the frustration of Boston fans.
