The Philadelphia 76ers are out of the playoffs, so it’s time to see what’s going on with other teams still in the playoffs.
The Miami Heat were on the verge of becoming the first team to lead 3-0 and lose the series as the Boston Celtics forces a Game 7. Rather than allowing Boston to make history, the Heat beat up the Celtics, 103-84, and reach the NBA Finals.
Former Sixers star Jimmy Butler led Miami with 28 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, but Caleb Martin had a huge night. Martin had 26 points on 11-for-16 shooting with 10 rebounds to help the Heat get the job done.

Martin, Butler and the Heat now head to Denver for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Thursday. They look to be the first No. 8 seed in NBA history to win a title.
