Looking Back At The HEAT-Celtics Playoff Rivalry

With the 2019-20 season suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, things have been rather dull in the sports world. Luckily enough, the NBA granted everyone a free preview of NBA League Pass until April 22, and NBA TV will be airing classic games and series throughout.

And well, you may want to tune in on Friday.

Starting at 6AM EDT (Yes, it’s early, but what else are you doing?), the 2011 Eastern Conference Semifinals and 2012 Eastern Conference Finals between the HEAT and Celtics will be broadcast.

You remember those battles, don’t you?

Thanks to stifling defense, Miami dispatched Boston in five games in 2011, while LeBron James put on a performance for the ages in Game 6 of the 2012 ECF to swing momentum back to the HEAT’s favor and eventually down the Celtics in seven.
