The Miami Heat are in the NBA final for the first time since 2014, while basketball national player Daniel Theis and the Boston Celtics failed in the playoff semifinals of the North American professional league.
The NBA record champions lost 113: 125 and thus drew 2: 4 in the best-of-seven series.
Both teams started with problems and initially found it difficult to score points.
Nevertheless, the Heat separated slightly (33:27).
The Celtics defended themselves against the impending end and, thanks to Kemba Walker, took the lead with a six-point lead.
In the final section, Miami reported back with a 26: 6 run.
Boston fell apart and ultimately suffered a significant defeat.
"It's hard to have to swallow this pill. We fought, we couldn't do more," said Walker disappointed.
Theis get six points and seven rebounds.
But the center committed a few foul games early on and could therefore not play their usual game.
Bam Adebayo was convincing in the heat and set a new record in his career with 32 points.
Miami, the best team in the East, will face the Los Angeles Lakers around superstar LeBron James in the final.
The final series will begin on Thursday night.
