Unbelievable Hit! His team Erik Spoelstra he was not deterred by the equalization of the Celtics who won three games in a row and broke them with 103-84 in Boston in Game 7. This is how he qualified for the NBA finals, where he will face the Nuggets with a home handicap.

At the same time, the tradition that says how was observed for the 151st time no team in NBA history has ever made the playoffs after going 0-3 in the playoffs.
