Celtics win Eastern Conference, setting the stage for 1964 NBA Finals rematch against Warriors

The Golden State Warriors finally have their NBA Finals opponent. On Sunday, the Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat in their winner-take-all matchup in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Heat star Jimmy Butler had an impressive performance, where he recorded 35 points and 9 rebounds. However, Celtics starters Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford all played at least 40 minutes and carried Boston to the Eastern Conference crown.

This is not the first time in NBA history that the two franchises have faced off for the league championship.
