Derrick White has clutch tip to win Game 6 vs Miami Heat
Derrick White is used to doing the dirty work for the Boston Celtics. Tonight, he is the reason the Celtics are going back home with a chance to make the NBA Finals. If they win, the Celtics make NBA history. Not only do they make history, but they also will make their second straight NBA Finals after beating the Miami Heat in Game 7. Last year, the Heat blew a 3-2 lead over the Celtics. This year, the Heat’s collapse has been historic, as they were up 3-0. Tonight, White tipped the ball in for an improbable win.
Derrick White’s Boston Celtics dominated for most of the season. However, a surge from the Milwaukee Bucks pushed Boston into the second seed. When the playoffs came, the scrappy Miami Heat stole the momentum from Giannis’ Bucks. As a result, the Heat went to the second round of the playoffs. There, they took the momentum from Julius Randle’s New York Knicks. When they got to the Eastern Conference Finals, they beat Boston in the first three games, including two in Boston.
Derrick White ended up closing tonight’s game, after Jayson Tatum left it all on the floor. At the same time, Jimmy Butler came alive late in the game. Butler ended up closing the game strongly. By the looks of things, Butler won the game for the Miami Heat. It looked like the Heat would be going to the NBA Finals to face Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets. However, Derrick White put an end to this, as there is Game 7 in Boston.
