"They let us get two. Don't let us get one more," Jaylen Brown said as he walked to the locker room after the Celtics' 110-97 Game 5 victory.
This series now shifts to Miami for Game 6, and all the pressure is back on the Heat to put away Celtics and make good on a 3-0 series lead.
There was no stopping the Celtics in Game 5. Derrick White exploded for 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting while Jayson Tatum showed a poise he lacked in Games 1 through 3 as he racked up 21 points and 11 assists.

After the loss, Miami star Jimmy Butler had a one-track mind about what his team needed to do to reach the NBA Finals.
“We’re always going to stay positive knowing that we can and we will win this series. We’ll just have to close it out at home,” Butler stated confidently.
Will the Heat close things out on the back of Butler's words? Or will Tatum and the Celtics force a do-or-die Game 7?
