Celtics pip Heat and reach NBA finals

{O/C} Success has beat a path to the Boston Celtics' door in their first Game 7 win on another team's home floor.

Eastern Conference finals MVP Jayson Tatum made the running with 26 points, with Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart each contributing 24 points.


As such, the Celtics pulverised the Miami Heat 100-96 on the Heat's home floor, the first since topping Milwaukee for the 1974 NBA title, earning a berth in the NBA finals against the Golden State Warriors.


Tatum had suffered two losses in Eastern finals. But given his spectacular performance today it appeared his spirits were never dented and he's uncannily adept at bouncing back with a vengeance.


Marcus Smart described the nail-biter as "amazing", relieved the team finally "got over the hump."
