NBA Finals berth at stake as Heat, Celtics prepare for Game 7

BOSTON — Moments after Boston's dramatic win at Miami on Saturday night, Jaylen Brown began thinking about the future. He raised his hands, put up seven fingers and began yelling, ''Game 7! Game 7!''

Game 7, indeed.

Brown and Boston are on the brink of history after Derrick White's buzzer-beating putback lifted the Celtics to a 104-103 victory over the Heat in Game 6. One of the league's most storied franchises is trying to become the first team in NBA playoffs history to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series.

Next up is one more game in the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night in Boston.
