Miami Heat Form
Miami head back to Boston looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the series and clinch.
The Heat have been the biggest story of the playoffs so far, going from needing two attempts at the Play-In to being one win away from the NBA Finals.
They dumped out #1 seed Milwaukee in the first round, 4-1, and then downed New York 4-2 in the conference semi-finals.
Miami’s great form continued as they raced out to a 3-0 lead in this series, following up 123-116 and 111-105 road wins with a 128-102 victory at home.
The Heat failed to make it four-in-a-row and clinch at home though, losing 116-99 in Game 4 on Tuesday night.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston avoided elimination on Tuesday night, but must now win the next three games to make it to the NBA Finals.
The Celtics downed Atlanta 4-2 in the first round, before winning a seven-game showdown with Philadelphia in the conference semi-finals.
They then dug themselves into a massive hole in this series, losing 123-116 and 111-105 at home to Miami.
Boston then fell to a 128-102 defeat on the road in Game 3, meaning for them to make the NBA Finals they must become the first team to come back from three games down in a series.
The Celtics completed the first leg of that mission on Tuesday, running out 116-99 winners in Miami.
