The Boston Celtics have advanced to the NBA finals with a 100-96 win over the Miami Heat. Jayson Tatum received the Larry Bird eastern conference mvp trophy, this game was down to the wire in Miami Sunday night, with Jimmy Butler just coming up short to make the potential game winning shot. Butler played great last night finishing with 35 points and 9 boards and played all 48 minutes of the ball game, this Miami team needs a little shake up as they dont have any great scorers besides Tyler Herro who was injured for most of the series and Jimmy Butler but he’s not considered to be a “scorer”. Bam Adebayo played well last night finishing with a double double of 25 and 11 boards, Bam was one of three Miami Heat players to score in double digits with Jimmy Butler, Bam and Kyle Lowry who doesn’t look the same as he once was.
Not to take away from the Celtics as they did win the series with Jayson Tatum, Jalyen Brown and Marcus Smart combining for 74 points, we all knew Tatum would get his points but Smart and Brown combining for 50 just them two was huge for Boston last night. Grant Williams also scored in double digits with 11 points and shot rather efficiently {62.5%} and also had 6 assists as well. The Celtics will now face off with the Golden State Warriors for the NBA championship starting on thursday June 2nd.
