Celtics Advance to NBA Finals After Game 7 Thriller

Grueling Series Ends in Dramatic Fashion

Boston Celtics 122, Miami Heat 102

The Boston Celtics have secured a spot in the NBA Finals after a hard-fought 122-102 victory over the Miami Heat in the decisive Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics held off a late charge from the Heat to conclude a grueling seven-game series that kept fans on the edge of their seats throughout.

The game was a tale of two halves, with the Celtics controlling the first half and building a 20-point lead. However, the Heat came out strong in the third quarter, chipping away at the Celtics' lead and eventually taking the lead early in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics responded with a 10-0 run to regain control of the game, and they held on for a hard-fought victory. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Jaylen Brown added 24 points and 8 rebounds. Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 25 points and 11 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Celtics' balanced attack.

The Celtics' victory marks their first trip to the NBA Finals since 2010. They will face the Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors in a highly anticipated matchup.
