The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will play Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals at FTX Arena on Sunday night with the winner earning a trip to the 2022 NBA Finals, where the Golden State Warriors are waiting.

The Celtics had a chance to reach the Finals on Friday night but couldn't protect a late fourth-quarter lead in Game 6. Jimmy Butler scored 47 points -- the second-most for a player facing elimination in playoff history -- to help the Heat stave off elimination on the road.

Boston hasn't won a Game 7 on the road since the 1974 NBA Finals, excluding the 2020 playoffs that were played in the Florida bubble. However, they've already won twice in Miami this series -- Game 2 and Game 5. The Celtics also own a 6-2 record on the road in the 2022 playoffs.

The keys for the Celtics are limiting turnovers and preventing the Heat from getting too many offensive rebounds. The C's have allowed the Heat to score a ton of points in this series off turnovers and from second-chance opportunities. If the Celtics stay under 15 turnovers they will probably win.
