Nba: Boston ko, Miami one step away from the Finals

The Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics 112-109 in game -4 and went 3-1 in the Eastern Conference finals series, seriously mortgaging the passage to the Finals. As expected, it was a very close match and also quite balanced, but the final outcome was certainly determined by the super performance of a very young Tyler Herro, a rookie who pulled out his best match ever in this race. Starting from the bench, the 21-year-old Herro scored 37 points (with 6 rebounds and 3 assists) and sowed panic in the opposing defense resulting decisive in the last minutes, when the game was still tied. In the NBA only one other player just 21 years old scored 37 points in a playoff game, that is Magic Johnson who scored 42 in the decisive match for the 1980 Finals. In the ranks of Miami, however, the 24 points scored by Butler should also be noted , Dragic's 22 and Adebayo's 20. In the Celtics only the star of Jayson Tatum really shone, who with his 28 points tried to stop his rivals. Even Jaylen Brown's 21 points and Kemba Walker's 20 points were not enough for the Boston team. In fact, the great plays of the Celtics were also offset by many turnovers and many mistakes under the basket, too many to be able to take over the game, which was then completely escaped in the final quarter. With tonight's victory, the Heat therefore leads to only one victory from the sixth NBA Finals in their history, the first since 2014.
