A 3–0 lead gone in 3.0 seconds.
The Celtics moved one step closer to making NBA history Saturday night, stealing victory from the Heat in one of the most thrilling finishes in recent basketball memory to somehow force a Game 7 in the East finals. Boston won 104–103 thanks to a last-second putback by Derrick White, and calling it last-second doesn’t even do the shot justice.
White was down to his very last tenth of a second when he rebounded and scored off a Marcus Smart miss as time expired, only moments after the Heat completed a shocking comeback of their own to take the lead in the first place. The series now shifts back to Boston, where the Celtics will look to become the first team to come back from an 0–3 series deficit.
