With Sunday’s 112-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Celtics clinched their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second year in a row. And just like last year, they’ll meet the Miami Heat with an NBA Finals spot on the line.
Last year, Miami had the home court advantage as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. This year the roles are reversed – the Celtics come in as the higher seed as No. 2, while Miami is the No. 8 seed having won in the play-in tournament to reach the postseason. They knocked off the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks and then the New York Knicks to reach this point.
With the Celtics having home court, the series starts in Boston on Wednesday night. Here’s a look at the full series schedule, through a potential Game 7.
