Jimmy Butler and the Heat failed again to close out the Eastern Conference finals against the Celtics on Thursday night, losing Game 5, 110-97, in Boston.
The Heat still lead the series, 3-2, and only need a win at home on Saturday to advance to the NBA Finals. But their losses in the past two games have allowed the moment to shift in a big way over to the Celtics, who are looking to become the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-0 playoff deficit.
