Los Boston Celtics they assaulted the pavilion of the Miami Heat and they prevailed 116-99 after a second part in which they annulled the weapons of those from Florida to make it 3-1 in the Eastern Final and avoid the sweep.
The ‘Proud Greens’ got a partial of 38-23 in the third quarter that broke a game that had been fairly even during the first half, with Miami taking slight advantages (50-56 at halftime). In the last one they simply dedicated themselves to applying themselves in defense and keeping their distance against some Heat in which Butler’s courage was not enough, who finished with 29 points and 9 rebounds. Spoelstra’s team did not fuel in attack, with 17 goals from Gabe Vicent and 16 from Caleb Martin as the only support for their franchise player.

Jaylen Brown and Derrick White each had 16 points, while Grant Williams chipped in 14 and Al Horford had 12. The Celtics largely fixed the serious problems they’ve had all series on shooting from beyond the 3-point line. points and finished the game with a more than acceptable 19 of 45 (42.2% accuracy).
The series now returns to Massachusetts, where Miami will try again to close the tie. In the NBA Finals the Denver Nuggets are already waiting, who swept the Lakers 4-0.
