Celtics vs Heat Game 7 Preview
All eyes will be on FTX Arena in Miami on Sunday night when the top-seeded Miami Heat and the second-seeded Boston Celtics meet in Game 7 to decide who will win the Eastern Conference title and head to the NBA Finals.
The Heat will be looking to advance to the NBA Finals for the second time in three years, while the Celtics are trying to advance to the finals for the first time since 2010.
“This is the way it should be, with these two teams. It should have gone seven games,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I’m just really thrilled that our group gets an opportunity to compete in a Game 7 in front of our home crowd.”
The Heat staved off elimination on Friday on the road in Boston with a 111-103 win in Game 6. They were propelled by a stellar performance by six-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, who scored a career playoff-high 47 points, which was seventh-most by a player facing elimination in NBA history.
The Celtics were led on Friday by Jayson Tatum who scored 30 points and pulled down nine rebounds. The 24-year-old three-time All-Star leads the team in scoring this postseason with 27.1 points per game.
“It’s no secret: It’s Game 7, trip to the NBA Finals, a lot on the line,” Tatum said. “We know what’s at stake. We know how much this means to everybody.”
The winner of Sunday night’s game will advance to the NBA Finals to take on the Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors.
