The Boston Celtics’ last-second win over the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the 2023 East finals was an instant classic for Celtics fans — and a nightmare for fans of the Heat. It was a game that saw unexpected twists and turns in the contest’s final moments.
They included a foul on a 3-point attempt, three made free throws off a challenged play that would have let Miami tie the game with two shots before it was clear Jimmy Butler was behind the arc when fouled, a missed trey by Marcus Smart, and a timely tip-in by Derrick White.
