And what awaits Erik Sopelstra&#8217;s squad is a return trip to the NBA Finals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">Jimmy Butler scored 28 points, while Bam Adebayo and Caleb Martin produced double-doubles in leading the Heat to a convincing 103-84 road victory over the Boston Celtics to win Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night. It took four tries, and a near-collapse after taking a 3-0 series lead last week, but the Heat clinched finally clinched their first NBA Finals appearance since the 2020 &#8220;bubble&#8221; season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">The series&#8217; coda also acted as the day the Heat exacted revenge on the Celtics, as tonight&#8217;s triumph came exactly a year to the day after the Celtics defeated Miami in the shadows of South Beach in Game 7 to advance to the NBA Finals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">&#8220;What happened last year, you know, obviously was on our mind and it drove us this year,&#8221; said Spoelstra, who has now taken the Heat to their sixth NBA Finals appearance in his 15 seasons as head coach. &#8220;That&#8217;s what you always hope for with competition, that it can drive you to a higher level. I think that&#8217;s what you saw in this series, this year, to be able to have to overcome a lot of stuff.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">Contrasting the desk-pounding Spoelstra after the Celtics&#8217; shocking buzzer-beating victory on Saturday night that necessitated Game 7 was the calm demeanor of Jimmy Butler, who calmly asserted on multiple trips to the podium after Miami defeats in Games 5 and 6 that the Heat would eventually get that fourth win, and thus avoiding the ignominy of becoming the first team to lose a best-of-seven NBA Playoffs series after taking a 3-0 lead.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Koiki_Sport\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @Koiki_Sport<\/a> <a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ALOST_Official\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @ALOST_Official<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adesina O.
