The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics played a classic in Game 6, with Boston forcing a Game 7 at the buzzer. With Marcus Smart's game-winning attempt rattling in and out, Derrick White's put-back at the buzzer saved the day for Boston, as they forced a Game 7 after once trailing 3-0.

The entire NBA world was sharing their reactions after White's buzzer-beater, including LA Clippers forward Nicolas Batum, who shared this Tweet:

The Heat and Celtics will play Game 7 on Monday night, with Boston looking to make history as the first team to ever overcome a 3-0 deficit. While Miami has had an incredible run as the 8th seed, they certainly would not be content with simply making it this far, especially considering they once led 3-0. Still one game away from the NBA Finals, the Heat cannot focus on the last three games, and instead must focus on taking care of business in Game 7.

The Celtics are a motivated group right now, and have the luxury of playing this Game 7 on their home floor. It will certainly be an incredible atmosphere in Boston for this one, and the team will need it. There is a reason nobody has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit, but there is also a reason this Boston group believes they can be the first to do it.
