Derrick White’s last-second putback in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat sealed a dramatic 104-103 victory for the Celtics. The victory was significant as it erased the Celtics’ 0-3 series deficit, putting them on the verge of making NBA history. No team has ever won a playoff series after being down 0-3 (0-150).
Marcus Smart’s three-point shot bounced around the rim before White grabbed the rebound and made the putback just as the buzzer sounded. The play was reviewed and confirmed as a buzzer-beater. White became only the second player in NBA history, after Michael Jordan in 1989, to score a buzzer-beater with his team trailing and facing elimination.
Despite the Heat initially taking the lead with three seconds left on the clock after Jimmy Butler made three free throws, the Celtics managed to secure the victory. Jayson Tatum scored 31 points for the Celtics, while Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart added 26 and 24 points, respectively. Butler led the Heat with 24 points but had a challenging night.
The series now moves to a decisive Game 7 at TD Garden, with the winner advancing to face the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals, which is set to begin on June 1.
