Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat Dominate Boston Celtics To Advance To NBA Finals
The Miami Heat crushed the Boston Celtics 103-84 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
On Monday (May 29), Jimmy Butler and the Heat punched their ticket to the 2023 NBA Finals in a winner takes all match-up, recovering after squandering their Game 6 match with Boston.
The Heat outplayed their opposition by outrebounding, snagging a higher field goal and three-point percentage, and causing more turnovers for the green and white.
Butler, 33, who scored 28 points and went 12-28 FGs, seven rebounds, and six assists, was named the ECF MVP over teammate Caleb Martin. “Himmy” Butler spoke to the press after the game, and while he was happy with the win, he asserted that the job wasn’t finished.
“We stayed together as a group. As a team, we talked about going and getting a tough one on the road. We did just that,” the NBA star said. “But we’re not satisfied. We’re excited. We’re happy. But we’ve got one more to get.”
Eric Spoelstra, the Heat’s head coach, talked about his team’s defiant nature and unwillingness to give in. “I think a lot of people can relate to this team,” Spoelstra asserted. “Sometimes you have to suffer for the things you really want.”
The eighth-seed Miami Heat are set to face off against the no.1 seed Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals. An official press release for the championship reveals that Game 1 will air on Thursday (June 1) at 8:30 p.m. EST on ABC.
Additionally, the championship marks the first time the Denver Nuggets have appeared in the Finals.
