Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat is arguably the biggest game we’ve had so far this season and the fans have packed out the TD Garden to see who wins the Eastern Conference Finals and makes it to the NBA Finals. 

Shaquille O’Neal is in the crowd, something a couple of eagle-eyed young fans saw. They made their way over to the four-time champion and hugged him in a lovely moment. 

Shaq might have retired as a Celtic but was best known for his years on two of Boston’s biggest rivals, the Lakers and the Heat. Nowadays, Shaq seems extremely at peace with what he achieved in his career and is one of the most likable former players still working in the media. Here’s hoping that the FTX lawsuit doesn’t end up taking O’Neal’s smile away.


Celtics Fans Watching Their Team Struggle

The Celtics have been on the backfoot the entirety of Game 7 and are currently trailing by eight points in the third quarter. They’ve tried fighting back, but the Heat keep hitting timely shots to not let Boston go on a big run. Caleb Martin is a big-shot machine this game, leading the Heat even as Jimmy Butler and especially Bam Adebayo are struggling.

The game stands at 66-58 with 4:30 left in the third quarter, so there’s a lot of game still left to be played. Miami needs to hope they can absorb Boston’s best blow, as Jayson Tatum is also playing with an injury. This is a golden opportunity to make it back to the NBA Finals, and Miami cannot let this slip.
