Sixers rival watch: Caleb Martin leads Heat past Celtics to reach finals
The Philadelphia 76ers are out of the playoffs so now is the time to look around the league and see what’s going on with other teams still in the playoffs.
The Miami Heat were on the verge of becoming the first team to lead 3-0 and lose the series as they saw the Boston Celtics rally and force a Game 7. Rather than allowing Boston to make history, the Heat put a stop to that and beat up on the Celtics 103-84 and reach the NBA Finals.
Former Sixers star Jimmy Butler led Miami with 28 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, but Caleb Martin had a huge night. Martin had 26 points on 11-for-16 shooting with 10 rebounds in order to help the Heat get the job done.

Martin, Butler, and the Heat will now head to Denver for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Thursday. They will look to be the first No. 8 seed in NBA history to win a title.
