"Knowing that if we lost our season would be over with," Tatum said when asked what got him going. "I was excited to play today, Game 6, this was like a big moment for all of us."

The Celtics had lost Game 5 on their home court in Boston to fall into a 3-2 hole, but they fended off elimination in Milwaukee, and now get a chance to go to the Eastern Conference Finals with a win in Game 7. 

The Miami Heat are waiting for whoever wins the series, because they have already won their second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers in six games.  

The Heat are the first seed in the east, so either the Celtics or the Bucks will play Games 1 and 2 of the next series on the road.
