NBA Playoffs, Miami dominates game-7 and goes to the Finals against Denver! Boston comeback incomplete

Boston fails, however, to become the first team to complete the comeback from 0-3. The Celtics were only the fourth ever to tie the score, but they were also the only ones to play the deciding game at home. Boston stopped at the climax, also because of a fault of Jayson Tatum’s ankle injury right on the first possession of the match. The Celtics star was still on the field for 41 minutes, but always in precarious physical condition. After a good start from Boston, Miami takes control of the game and never lets go. The Heat also reach +17 in the second quarter and at halftime the lead is eleven points. Upon returning from the locker room Butler pushes the Celtics away again, who return only with an offensive outburst from White. Boston, however, never manages to get completely close, always remaining 7-8 points behind. Miami doesn’t look back in the last quarter, with a memorable Caleb Martin putting the seal on the victory.

The ex Charlotte is the surprise hero of Game 7. An unforgettable evening for the class of 1995, which ends with a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds and 11/16 from the field. Of course, the contribution of is also fundamental Jimmy Butler, who scores 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Double double also for Bam Adebayo with 12 points and 10 rebounds, to which he also adds 7 assists. For Boston the top scorer is Jaylen Brown with 19 pointsWhile Derrick White closes his game with 18 points. A stoic Jayson Tatum signs a double double of 14 points and 11 rebounds. Boston, however, pays for a disastrous evening from the bow with a miserable 9/42 shooting. The 2023 Finals will begin on the Italian night between Thursday and Friday. The Denver Nuggets, who beat the Los Angeles Lakers 4-0, are hunting for their first title and can count on the home court factor. However, Miami seems to be the team of destiny in these Play-offs, which even started with a defeat in the Play-In against Atlanta. The Heat return to the final after that of 2020 in the Orlando bubble, while the last title won dates back to 2013 in the unforgettable series won 4-3 with the San Antonio Spurs.
