Though there may be no Boston Celtics in the 2020 NBA Finals, the teams that made it have two former Celtics alumni on their roster, and three of those four played in the Miami Heat’s big win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
We say “big” because it helped keep Los Angeles from drawing even with the Celtics in terms of total titles won for just a little longer, maybe even permanently.
While it is still unlikely that the Heat will catch the Lakers, who they now trail two games to one, it is at least looking like a competitive series going forward.

Of course, it took 40 points from wing Jimmy Butler to secure the victory with Miami down big man Bam Adebayo (neck) and point guard Goran Dragic (foot), both of whom hope to return for the Heat in Game 4.
