Welcome to Sportstar’s HIGHLIGHTS of Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat NBA Playoffs Game 6 from FTX Arena in Miami.
The score will read Celtics-Heat.
Can you believe it? In the dying second, Mili-second actually, White snatches a win for the Celtics. Three back to back wins. The Heat fans still cannot quite believe what transpired here just now. No team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit. Celtics stand with a chance to change that.
It was a complete performance from the Celtics tonight. Tatum with 31 points, Brown with 26 and Smart with 21. But it was the White shot at the very end that sealed the show.
Heat had Butler show up in the final quarter. But overall, he missed a few too many shots today. Martin, Vincent and Robinson stuck to their shooting which pulled the game right down to the wire.
We have an iconic Game 7 coming our way on Monday. We will be back for that one. Cheers!

After losing the first three games of the Eastern Conference finals, Boston Celtics didn’t look like a team ready to flash some dominance.
But after winning the past two games by an average of 15 points, they are very much alive. They will seek to tie the best-of-seven series at three victories apiece with the Heat on Saturday when the teams play Game 6 in Miami.
No NBA team has overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a series but Boston is now halfway there after staving off elimination for the third and fourth times this postseason. The Celtics also recorded two such wins against Philadelphia 76ers in the conference semifinals.
