After beating Miami: Celtics are close to entering the NBA finals

The Miami Heat can still keep up in the first half, but then they lose their luck. After a 93-80 in the fifth game of the playoff semifinals, the Boston Celtics are only one win away from entering the final. It would be the first finals since 2010 for the record NBA champion.

The Boston Celtics are about to advance to the finals of the North American basketball league NBA. The Celtics won game five of the playoff semifinals at the Miami Heat 93:80 (37:42) and on Friday at home they can make the first finals since 2010 perfect. Boston now leads the Eastern Conference championship series by 3-2 wins and just needs one more win to advance.

After a mostly balanced first half, the guests started a run in the second half. They turned a 59:58 into a 83:60 and made the decision. The Heat again showed an enormous weakness in throwing, only 32 percent of all throws found their target. The rate for the three-point throws was even weaker at 16 percent.

For the Celtics, the two stars Jaylen Brown with 25 points and Jason Tatum with 22 points were the top scorers. The German NBA professional Daniel Theis, on the other hand, didn't play a second. In the Western Conference finals, the Golden State Warriors lead 3-1 against the Dallas Mavericks. With 17 championships, the Boston Celtics are the NBA's record champions alongside the Los Angeles Lakers (formerly Minneapolis Lakers).
