Miami Heat avoided the ignominy of becoming the first team in NBA history to lose from being 3-0 up by thwarting Boston Celtics' comeback bid in Game 7 with a comprehensive 103-84 victory to win the Eastern Conference trophy and enter the NBA Finals.
The victory made Miami Heat only the second No. 8 seed to book a spot in the NBA Finals, thanks to Jimmy Butler's 28 points and Caleb Martin's 26.
