It has been a riveting contest so far between the two mighty sides. The Boston Celtics had a lead of 1 game before Game 6 but a loss in the last fixture has tied the series at 3-3.

Jayson Tatum continued his excellent form and scored 30 points with 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Derrick White was not in the starting lineup but added 22 points with 5 assists to his name. The Celtics need an all-around performance from all the players to win the mega battle.

The Miami Heat faced the danger of elimination in the last game at Boston. It was a brilliant effort from them to level the series and force Game 7 at the FTX Arena.

Jimmy Butler rose to the occasion once again and he dominated the Celtics single-handedly by scoring 47 points with 9 rebounds and 8 assists. It was his highest number of points in the playoffs and one of the top performances by any player from a team facing elimination in the NBA history. Miami fans will be relying on Butler to repeat the same performance in the finals.
