Boston Celtics Advance to NBA Finals After Thrilling Game 7 Win
Celtics Defeat Heat to Reach Finals for First Time Since 2010
Game-Winning Tip-In Sends Celtics to Championship Series
BOSTON, MA - The Boston Celtics are returning to the NBA Finals after a dramatic 104-103 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday night. The Celtics, who had won the last-second tip-in by Derrick White, will now face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, which begin on Thursday night.
The Celtics' victory was a hard-fought affair, as the two teams traded leads throughout the game. The Heat held a 103-102 lead with just seconds remaining, but White was able to tip in the game-winning basket. The final play capped off a wild back-and-forth game that saw both teams hit big shots down the stretch. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 26 points, while Brown added 24 points and Al Horford chipped in with 20 points. Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 28 points, but his team fell just short of reaching the NBA Finals.
The Celtics will now face the Warriors in the NBA Finals, a rematch of the 2018 Finals. The Warriors are looking to win their fourth NBA championship in eight years, while the Celtics are looking to add to their record-setting 17 NBA titles.
