Last night, the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat played in a Game 7 that could have been historic. Overall, the Heat were up 3-0 in the series. However, they blew their large lead, which made the series go 7. If they lost, they would become the first team to lose a series after being up 3-0. It would have been a horrific collapse that would have been a stain on Jimmy Butler and his legacy. Although, the Heat were able to pull out the win, and they did so in a blowout fashion.
Early in the game, Jayson Tatum went down with an injury. However, he remained in the game and finished it out. That said, he was clearly hampered as he only managed to score 14 points. He was not good for large portions of the match, and the Celtics felt those effects pretty immediately. Meanwhile, the Heat were able to take advantage of these weaknesses and busted the game wide open in the fourth quarter. Consequently, they are now off to the NBA Finals for the first time since the 2020 NBA Bubble.
Celtics Lose In A Blowout
Jimmy Butler and company now get to play against the Denver Nuggets, who were fantastic this season. The Nuggets will get home court, where they have not lost a game all postseason. Overall, they will be looking to continue that trend. With Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray leading the way, it does seem like the Heat are massive underdogs. After all, they are an eighth seed that was a quarter away from losing in the play-in round to the Chicago Bulls.
