Boston’s Derrick White sinks the putback that sent the Eastern Conference finals to a Game 7.MIAMI—The Boston Celtics were a tenth of a second away from elimination. The Miami Heat were a tenth of a second from the National Basketball Association Finals.White scored on a putback as time expired and the Boston Celtics moved to the brink of the greatest comeback in NBA playoffs history, holding off the Miami Heat, 104-103, on Saturday night to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals.
Boston, however, is going home for its shot at history. Game 7 is Monday night on the Celtics’ floor, a matchup that’ll decide who meets the Western Conference champion Denver Nuggets in a title series that will start Thursday.Jimmy Butler made three free throws with 3.0 seconds left—the foul was originally called with 2.1 seconds left; referees put 0.9 seconds back on after reviewing the play to see if it was a three-point try that Al Horford fouled him on—for a one-point Heat lead.
Butler scored 24 points and Caleb Martin had 21 for the Heat, who are trying to pull off their own improbable trek to the title series by being only the second No. 8 seed to make the NBA Finals. They’ve now lost as many games this week—three—as they had in their first 14 playoff games this spring combined on the way to ousting No. 1 Milwaukee, then No. 5 New York and taking what was supposed to be an insurmountable 3-0 lead over the second-seeded Celtics.
