The Boston Celtics always seem to play their best when their collective backs are against the wall, and they managed to put themselves right back into such a position after squandering a chance to close out their 2022 Eastern Conference finals series against the Miami Heat on their home court of TD Garden on Friday night.
Now, instead, they will travel to Florida to play the Heat on their home court for a decisive Game 7, disappointing fans and putting their seemingly-certain trip to the finals in doubt. Can the Celtics win on the road against a gritty, disciplined opponent like the Heat?
“We’re frustrated,” explained Celtics reserve guard Derrick White after the loss. “But, if it was easy, it wouldn’t be us.”
Both Williams and teammate Derrick White agree Boston can’t be looking past them to the finals if they want to win. https://t.co/TAglcVB1aR
