Celtics vs Heat Game 6 Recap

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat force a game 7 with a 111-103 win. This was a back and forth game but Miami pulls ahead at the last minute to take the game, Jimmy Butler had one of his many superstar moments in the playoffs finishing with 47, 9 and 8 with 4 steals, Butler was struggling for the last couple games since injuring his knee in game 3 of this eastern conference series but showed up last night. Kyle Lowry also came to play finishing with a double double of 18 points and 10 assists, this was Lowry’s first game that he’s truly played well in these eastern finals, Bam Adebayo has been looking very pedestrian finishing with another game under double digits with just 6 points on only six shots.

This game is going to be a bloodbath in Miami for game 7, with the Celtics having much of the pressure to win this game Jayson Tatum will have a chance to show why he’s a superstar in this league, Tatum last night did finish with 30 points on high efficient shooting {75% FG, 57.1% 3PT} on just twelve shots as well, Al Horford on the other hand did not play great finishing with just 3 points on 1-8 shooting which is unacceptable in a close out game. Jaylen Brown had a decent game finishing with 20 points and also filling up the stat sheet with 6 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals. Boston will most likely be the favorites heading into game 7 on sunday night and I expect them to close the Heat out.
