Miami defeated Boston 111:105 in "TD Garden" and returns to Florida with two breaks, where it will have the opportunity to "sweep" Boston and advance to the NBA Finals.

In the last six and a half minutes, Jimmy Butler and his team went on a 24:9 run to turn the score around and beat the Celtics on their court for the second time in a row.

The hosts took a significant lead in the third period, but failed to maintain it when it was most needed, which is the fault of their biggest stars.

Jason Tatum finished the match with 34 points, but only five came in the decisive 12 minutes (all five from the penalty line), with three turnovers. Jaylen Brown scored three points in the fourth quarter (1/5 from the field), and 16 overall.

On the other hand, the catalyst for the Heat's turnaround was, as always, the terrific Butler, who scored nine of his team's 24 points in their big outing.

He finished the match with 27 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks.

Caleb Martin was an X-factor off the bench, scoring 25 points, Bam Adebayo added 22 with 17 rebounds, while Duncan Robinson finished with 15.

The next match is scheduled for the night between Sunday and Monday, starting at 02:30.
