Boston Celtics Advance to the 2022 NBA Finals

Lowry inbound again here. Struce again fires the three and that might do it. Al Horford with the rebound throws it up in the air and the Boston Celtics will go to the NBA Finals. They complete a wire-to-wire victory on Miami's home court. The Celtics going to their 22nd NBA Finals where they will look for their 18th NBA championship. A team that has not lost two in a row in the postseason doing so once again here tonight. Bouncing back showing resilience after game six loss on their home floor. Guys an impressive wire-to-wire lead for the Boston Celtics. Tatum, Brown leading the way and Smart joining in with a 20-point performance as well. I'll tell you what as a coach sitting here I'm excited about the opportunity among the Celtics to go to the championship but I'm also thinking we've got to be better. What we got away with in this series we're not going to get away with when the finals come and that team from the Bay Area is representing the West. You can overhear Kyle Lowry tapping Jason Tatum on the chest saying hey go win it go win that thing and Jimmy Butler right there Jeff he had a shot to give Miami the lead late on that three which fell short. Well he played another outstanding outstanding game tonight. The Boston Celtics won three times on the road. Wow. They've been great all year long facing adversity. They have responded time and time again. Yume Udoka said earlier that it wouldn't be us if we weren't trying to do it the difficult way. Butler in wake of a 47-point game six registers 35 but he'll go into that Miami Heat locker room through Championship Alley there thinking about that three that did not fall. Jason Tatum is now four and one in Game Seven. The Celtics win it 100 to 96 for Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen who wasn't with us tonight and for Lisa Salters our entire crew. I'm Mark Jones. Stay tuned for the Eastern Conference Champions Trophy Ceremony coming up next on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt.
