Heat Beat Celtics to Advance to NBA Finals
Miami Secures Victory in Game 6
Boston's Season Ends, Denver Awaits in Finals
The Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics 103-84 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night, advancing to the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets. The Heat's victory was a dominant performance, led by Jimmy Butler's 22 points and 8 rebounds.
Boston had won Game 5 in Miami and had a chance to force a Game 7 in their home arena. However, the Heat came out with a strong start and never looked back. They led by as many as 21 points in the first half and never trailed in the game.
The Celtics were led by Jayson Tatum's 20 points and 7 rebounds. However, he was limited to just 6-of-20 shooting from the field. The Celtics also struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 25% as a team.
The Heat will now face the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals, which begin on Tuesday night. The Nuggets defeated the Phoenix Suns in four games to advance to the Finals.
The Heat are now one win away from their second NBA championship in the past three years. The Nuggets are making their first NBA Finals appearance since 2009.
