WEB 2023 NBA Eastern Conference Finals: Heat Upset Celtics in Game 7
Heat Continue Cinderella Run with Impressive Victory
Miami Defies Expectations, Advances to NBA Finals
In a thrilling conclusion to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Miami Heat stunned the Boston Celtics in Game 7, securing a 103-84 victory to advance to the NBA Finals. The eighth-seeded Heat overcame the odds throughout the playoffs, and their Game 7 triumph marks a remarkable continuation of their Cinderella run.
Jimmy Butler was once again the catalyst for Miami, leading the scoring with 28 points. Caleb Martin provided valuable support with a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds. The Heat's defense played a crucial role, limiting the Celtics to just 38.2% shooting from the field.
The Celtics, led by Jayson Tatum's 24 points, struggled to find their rhythm offensively. They were particularly ineffective from beyond the arc, making just 7 of 32 three-point attempts. The Heat's physicality and relentless hustle proved too much for Boston to overcome.
This is Miami's second trip to the NBA Finals in the past three seasons. They will face off against the Denver Nuggets, who defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Finals. The NBA Finals are set to begin on June 1st.
