After three terrible games against the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics have finally woken up and now are ready to make a statement.
The Heat looked pretty strong during the first three games, and now things are different.
The Celtics caught up and won two consecutive games, putting all the pressure on the Heat to close out this series.
Many fans are confident the miracle can be completed, and Celtics legend Paul Pierce predicts that the series is going back to Boston for Game 7, per Sean Deveney via NBA Central.

This team didn’t look like one who wanted to return to the NBA Finals this year. They struggled to get past the Philadelphia 76ers and the Heat put them in a complex position too.
Joe Mazzulla and his players are ready to turn things around, and the last two games showed that they’re not done yet.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown woke up and they’re not ready to go home just yet.
The Heat shrank in the last two games, and even after Jimmy Butler guaranteed that they will win Game 6, the pressure is mounting for them.
Boston is now alive and everybody’s waiting to see another masterpiece from them tonight.
If they force Game 7, the Heat will be in a worse situation, and on the verge of being the first team to blow a 3-0 advantage.
This series, contrary to the Western Conference Finals, has had incredible moments, and we could see another one at the Miami Heat arena tonight.
