NBA Twitter Reacts to Derrick White, Celtics Forcing Game 7 vs. Heat

Derrick White Celtics Heat NBA NBA Twitter Boston (Organization) Game 7 Jimmy Butler

The Celtics and Heat will play a seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals to cap off what’s been a wild back-and-forth series.

Boston is now on the verge of making NBA history by becoming the first team to ever come back and win a series after trailing 3–0. Only three other teams have ever even tied a series up after such a start, but none were able to get the job done.

After Derrick White beat the buzzer with a heroic late putback shot on an errant Marcus Smart jumper, the series will shift back to Boston for the finale.

Fans and media alike on Twitter had plenty to say after the game, ranging from criticisms of Jimmy Butler to praise of White and the Celtics for battling back from their 3–0 deficit.

Game 7 is set for Monday night, and if the Celtics are able to pull off the unprecedented reverse sweep, NBA Twitter may have a meltdown beyond anything we’ve previously experienced.
