The Incredible Final Quarter

The Heat were trailing by 10 points in 4Q and then they rallied to wipe off the deficit to stand at 100 against Boston's 102. Jimmy Butler then was fouled by Boston and got three free throws with three seconds left in the game. Butler made each one count and suddenly Miami were up 103-102, all set to win the series 4-2.

Derrick White, tasked to toss the ball inbound, passed it to Marcus Smart, who attempted a two-point shot from just inside the three-point line but the ball bounced off the rim and White, waiting underneath, nudged it to send Boston camp in frenzy. Have a look at the shot here:

The confirmation came 10 seconds later and Miami couldn't believer it. This is the first buzzer-beater by a team facing elimination in the playoffs since Kawhi Leonard's four-bounce shot for the Raptors against the 76ers in 2019.

Game 7 in Boston

After losing three back-to-back games in the series, it would definitely be hard for Miami when they show up for Game 7 in Boston day after tomorrow. The Celtics, on the other hand, are on cloud 9 as they become the first team since 2003 to force Game 7 in the series after being down in the pits.

The winner of the series would play against the Denver Nuggets for the championship from June 1.
