MIAMI—After an astonishing game-six finish that left the Boston Celtics dumbstruck and the Miami Heat reeling, the two teams must now pick themselves up to do battle again in Monday’s NBA playoff series decider.
And neither expects anything less than another epic battle in Boston.
Miami lost a first play-in game to Atlanta before beating Chicago and entering the playoffs as the eighth seed. “The competitive spirit of this group, we are never to be denied. Even after games like that, we would always come back the next game and find a way to get a win. That’s what we have to do right now.”But that will require more than competitive spirit and the right mindset—the Heat need star Jimmy Butler to rediscover his form from earlier in the series.
“I don’t give a damn what they shot. We were up one. We may win this thing as ugly as it has ever been done. I don’t care what guys shoot,” he said.
