Last night’s Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat had the potential to be historic. Overall, the Heat led the series 3-0. However, they blew their enormous lead, resulting in a 7-game series.
They would become the first team to lose a series after leading 3-0. It would have been a terrible collapse that would have tarnished Jimmy Butler’s reputation. Nonetheless, the Heat prevailed, and they did so in spectacular manner.
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.

As for the Boston Celtics, they continue to be roasted on social media. Fans around the NBA do not have much love for Boston. This can be said about the NFL, MLB, and even the NHL, where the Boston Bruins are despised. Overall, the Celtics demise has been televised, and the people could not be any happier.
