Celtics Advance to Eastern Conference Finals after Clinching Series Against Heat

The Boston Celtics put an end to the Miami Heat's season in dominant fashion on Sunday night, clinching the Eastern Conference semifinals series in Game 5 with a 121-108 victory. The Celtics were in control from the opening tip, leading by as many as 20 points in the first half. The Heat made a run in the third quarter, but the Celtics answered back and pulled away in the fourth quarter.

Jayson Tatum led the way for the Celtics with 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Jaylen Brown added 21 points. Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 23 points, but he was unable to keep up with the Celtics' balanced attack.

The Celtics will now face the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals, beginning on Tuesday night in Boston.
