Derrick White saved the Celtics‘ season Saturday night, executing a putback on a missed three-pointer with 0.1 seconds left, securing a 104-103 win over the Heat in Miami. With the win, Boston forced a Game 7 in Boston on Monday.
The buzzer beater was extremely rare in circumstance. In fact, it’s only the second time in NBA history that a team hit such a shot while facing elimination in a playoff series and also trailing in the game, according to Jay King of The Athletic.

Superstar Harry Styles is an avid golfer, and he took on the Home of Golf where he gained a ton of attention.
Harry Styles took a break from his grueling world tour to tee it up for 18-holes at the home of golf, St. Andrews Golf Club. There was no golf tournament. Nevertheless, the crowds that gathered to see the megastar mimicked those at the Open Championship.
Styles is an avid golfer, so it’s not surprising to see him take some time away from the tour to play on one of the best courses in the world.
A 3–0 lead gone in 3.0 seconds.
The Celtics moved one step closer to making NBA history Saturday night, stealing victory from the Heat in one of the most thrilling finishes in recent basketball memory to somehow force a Game 7 in the East finals. Boston won 104–103 thanks to a last-second putback by Derrick White, and calling it last-second doesn’t even do the shot justice.
Steve Sarkisian has some very lofty goals for Texas QB Quinn Ewers.
Ewers had an up and down season last year in his first year as a starting QB at the college level. He showed some incredibly impressive flashes – most notably against Alabama before getting hurt – but the team also failed to meet expectations.
Ewers finished the year with 2,177 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns and six interceptions. He certainly didn’t have a bad year, but the numbers weren’t what fans were hoping they would be for the 8-5 Longhorns.
Well, Sarkisian expects a huge jump.
It looked like the Celtics’ season was going to end in Miami. But Derrick White’s last-second tip-in is sending the series back to Boston for Game 7.
“I thought it was short,” said the Celtics’ point guard who scored with less than a second left to force Game 7.
