The Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat, by 110-97, and reduced the deficit to 2-3 in the final of the Eastern Conference of the NBA, a tie that is played in the best of seven games.
Derrick White, with 24 points, Marcus Smart, with 23, and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, with 21 each, were in the spotlight for the Celtics, who were halfway to becoming the first in history to overturn a deficit of 0 -3 and win the series. And they’ve already proved this season that they can do it: in the second round, against the Philadelphia 76ers, they were twice one game away from saying ‘goodbye’ to the play-offs, but they turned it around.
Jimmy Butler (14 points) was once again below expectations for the Heat, who hope to resolve the tie on Saturday at home and avoid the ‘black’ in Boston.
