The NBA has reached its final destination. After 7 tough games, the Jayson Tatum-led Boston Celtics manage to eliminate the #1 seeded Miami Heat in the Western Conference Finals. And with a 100-96 Game 7 win, the Cs make their first finals appearance in 12 years as they prepare to face Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
Back in the offseason of 2019, Kevin Durant, after winning 2 titles with them, parted ways with GSW. And Kyrie Irving left Boston as the two decided to team up in Brooklyn.
While the Nets have failed to make it past the second round of the playoffs since the All-Star duo’s arrival, today, their former teams enter and will face each other off in the NBA Finals.
