Boston Celtics NBA Playoffs Game Tonight: Celtics vs Heat Injury Report, Starting Lineup, Predictions, TV Channel for May 29
The Boston Celtics have nearly climbed all the way back from a 3-0 hole in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, and on Monday, May 29, will look to finish the job in an unlikely Game 7 at the TD Garden.
Boston is only in this spot because of Derrick White’s court awareness. Down 1 with three seconds left and a sideline inbounds opportunity, Marcus Smart heaved up a contested 3-pointer that spun around the rim but luckily in the direction of White, who was crashing the glass for a second opportunity — giving the Cs a second lease on life in the process. White somehow got the ball off in time before the buzzer, and now the momentum is clearly in Boston’s favor.
Can this Celtics team finish the job, though? Or will Miami keep the tradition of teams that take a 3-0 series lead finishing the job every single time?

Miami. It’s all over tonight, folks. For real.
