Celtics vs. Heat live score, updates, highlights from Game 6 of NBA Playoffs

Things can change quickly in the NBA Playoffs. Just ask the Celtics and Heat.

Miami surged out to a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, continuing its incredible postseason run as the East’s No. 8 seed. The Heat seemed to be well on their way to the NBA Finals after a dominant showing in Game 3.

But Boston has bounced back with wins in two straight elimination contests, setting the stage for a pivotal Game 6 on Saturday night. With two more victories, the Celtics would become the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-0 deficit.

“We believe that, one, that we’re the better team in this series. We haven’t played like it,” Celtics forward Jaylen Brown said ahead of Game 6. “But, two, that it’s our destiny to be able to make it to the next level. History is at our doorstep, and we gotta respond.”

Can Boston send the series back to the TD Garden? Or will Miami be crowned as the champions of the Eastern Conference?
