The spectacular Eastern Conference final series has come to an end.
Boston hosts the seventh game of the Eastern Conference decider series, with the local Celtics hosting the Miami Heat and aiming to complete their incredible comeback.
The first three games of the East finals went to Miami, and when it looked like Eric Spoelstra’s men would finish off the opponent and win the series, Boston rallied and won three straight games to even the score.
This is the fourth time in history that such a comeback has occurred, but never before has a team from 0:3 in the series made it 4:3 in their favor.
Miami again played without Kevin Love, mainly playing with a big one – Bam Adebayo, who played without a substitute in the first half until he received a second personal foul 2 minutes before the break.
In general, the starting quarter was left to the Heat, who got the advantage in the first, and then increased it a little in the second. The teams went on vacation with a difference of up to 11 points in favor of the guests.

At the beginning of the second half, Derrick White joined Boston, trying to close the gap, but in Miami there was an answer in the person of Caleb Martin, who allowed the Greens to play only one point for the entire quarter.
But with the effort of the same Martin at the beginning of the last quarter, Miami really closed all questions about the winner, when at one point the advantage reached 18 points. The situation for Boston is also complicated by the injury of Tatum, who actually played on one leg.
Closer to the middle of the quarter, the difference in the score reached 23 points, which really turned the match into replay mode. In the final, Miami will face the Denver Nuggets, who are tired of waiting for their opponent in the final.
