Miami Heat Fall To Celtics in Game 7

Heat fail to advance to NBA Finals

The Miami Heat's hope of advancing to the NBA Finals ended with a loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. 

The Heat lost 100-96 Sunday and were eliminated from the playoffs. The Celtics advance to play the Golden State Warriors in the Finals. 

 "Yeah, it's just one of those really tough moments," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "You can't prepare for it. You're not thinking about it. It's one of the worst feelings in the world to address your locker room after a game like this. When it ends, it ends in a thud. I have just so much incredible respect and love for everybody in the locker room and what everybody gave to this team. We had such a memorable season and postseason. It felt like five seasons in one, all the different chapters and adversity that this group was able to overcome. It was a really fun group to be around. It was a hard-edged group. It's all the quality that we love, the good, the bad and everything in between. It's heartbreaking when it ends like this.
