The Miami Heat are heading back to the NBA Finals. Led by Jimmy Butler and Caleb Martin, who scored 28 and 26 points, respectively, Miami won Game 7 103-84 to eliminate the Boston Celtics.
The series wasn't short on theatrics as the Heat jumped out to a 3-0 lead before fumbling the opportunity to sweep and allowing the Celtics to force a Game 7.
But Miami put together a herculean effort when it needed it most to put away Boston. There are only three other instances of an NBA team leading 3-0 in a series and playing in a Game 7.
With the win, the Heat avoided being the first to lose the series. The Heat's road to facing the Denver Nuggets for the Larry O'Brien Trophy was a tough one.
