Derek White's game-winning basket at the buzzer gave the Celtics a chance to make history in 48 hours and become the first team ever to erase a 3-0 deficit in a playoff series. Tatum excelled with 31 points and a perfect penalty percentage, 24 to Jimmy Butler, which nearly led to another comeback in the decisive quarter.
Earlier, Butler, who swept the Heat to a terrific comeback and brought them back almost single-handedly from ten points behind, scored three times from the penalty line in the closing seconds.
