The Boston Celtics punched their ticket to the 2022 NBA Finals on Sunday night with their grinding, 100-96 win over the top-seeded Miami Heat, outlasting their Eric Spoelstra-coached rival to advance to their first NBA Finals series since 2010.
In that series, the Celtics will face the winner of the 2022 Western Conference finals, the Golden State Warriors. No other team has been in more finals series since, nor won more titles in them. After beating the three toughest teams in the league’s Eastern Conference, Boston finds itself facing one of the most accomplished title cores in modern NBA history. Can it find a way to will itself to Banner 18?
