Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Miami had taken a 3–0 lead before Boston won twice and moved the series back to South Florida. No NBA team had ever completed a comeback from 3–0, leaving the Celtics two wins from unprecedented history and the Heat two chances to prevent it.

  • Miami led 3–2, while Boston was trying to become the fourth team ever to force Game 7 after losing the first three.
  • The winner would meet Denver in the Finals; Miami was seeking a second Finals trip in four seasons with Jimmy Butler.
