On the NBA Eastern Conference Finals podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 At one time the Boston Celtics were down 3-0 to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals and now have come back to avoid elimination winning two straight games including last night’s game 5 thriller 110-97 to cut the Miami lead down to 3-2.

#2 Derrick White scored 24 points and had six three pointers and it was the three pointers that help make the difference for the Celtics. Marcus Smart had 23 points and five steals.

#3 Also the Celtics Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both finished with 21 points they both were driven for accomplishing a game 5 win.

#4 If the Celtics were to win game 6 they will have come back from three games down and teams who have been down 3-0 are 0-150 and are vying to beat the odds.

#5 Game 6 goes back to Miami Friday night. The Heat will have their fans behind them and the Heat are looking for their key players Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Jimmy Butler to make it happen and eliminate the Celtics. Can the Celts beat the odds or will the Heat take full advantage of the home court advantage?
