The Celtics wanted to take a new step to reunite with glory and they got it after win the seventh game of the key against the Miami Heat 100-96 and enter a new NBA final after 12 years.
And to do so they had to suffer more than necessary, because when it seemed that the Celtics had control of the game with a difference of 13 points, it was shortened until they were only two points ahead on the scoreboard and the moment in which Max Strus managed to score a triple.
In fact, Jimmy Butler, who became the best of his squad with 35 points, had the opportunity to lead his team forward, but missed a triple that ended up being fundamental..
Boston’s game was sustained by Jayson Tatum’s performance with 26 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and by Jeyler Brown’s 24 points, six rebounds and the same number of assists.
Now after leaving the Nets, Bucks and Heat on the road, heThe squad led by Ime Udoka will have the opportunity to challenge for the title against the Golden State Warriors in their return to the finals since 2010 when they fell to the Lakers.
Although there was a celebration, the work does not stop here and coach Ime Udoka is already thinking about his next rivals. “All this will be useless if we later fail in the Finals. We know”, he commented after the match.
“The guys have celebrated, but there are four games left to win. We don’t celebrate a conference title on the Celtics. We accept this excellence.”
In any case, he shared the joy of his leaders. “We can’t help but smile and enjoy this moment on the pitch. We have no other choice, seeing the joy of the players. I am happy for them, who have finally overcome this obstacle”.
