The Celtics saved their season Tuesday in Miami by beating the Heat, 116–99, in Game 4 and now will need to win Game 5 in Boston on Thursday to extend the series once again.
Jimmy Butler and the Heat wanted to sweep the Celtics and clinch a date with the Nuggets in the NBA Finals but that didn’t happen in front of their home crowd. The Celtics hit a ton of three-pointers and played great defense all night, all just a few days after looking so bad in Game 3.
So what’s going to happen in Game 5? Charles Barkley thinks it’s going to be an easy win … for the Celtics:
"I think Game 5 is gonna be a cakewalk for the Celtics" 👀

Barkley's predictions tend to go pretty badly for him so that’s probably not what Celtics fans want to hear.
NBA fans had fun with Barkley:
He literally said the series was over at halftime. https://t.co/apTkbXGY0q

So they went from quitters to getting a cakewalk win in game 5. “Analyzing” sports is funny. https://t.co/x2mlNeIxuC
