The Miami Heat took everyone by surprise by registering a smooth win against the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference. They defeated the Celtics a 111-103 to avoid elimination. Jimmy Butler stepped up when it mattered most, as he poured in a playoff career-high 47 points to drag the Heat to victory.
The focus now shifts to the all-important Game 7 with the spot in the NBA Finals on the line. The Celtics have already played in a Game 7 in this playoff run, as they blew out the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks in the Conference Semifinals, but that was at home. This time around, they need to get it done on the road, which is a completely different situation altogether.
