The Boston Celtics are headed to the 2022 NBA Finals where they will compete with the battle-tested veterans of the Golden State Warriors to compete for an NBA-record 18th banner should the Celtics manage to come away with the win.
But before they turned their attention to the task ahead, Boston allowed themselves a moment to bask in the considerable accomplishment of having defeated the Heat on their home floor in seven games.

To see that historic moment, check out the clip embedded below by our friends at CLNS Media, who captured the postgame speeches from all involved.
