Derrick White #DerrickWhite
Despite his Game 6 heroics, Derrick White will be starting his offseason after the Boston Celtics lost Game 7 at home against the Miami Heat.
White scored 18 points for the Celtics, but Jimmy Butler’s 28 and Caleb Martin’s 26 were too much for Boston to handle.
Miami was ahead at the start and went into cruise control in the second half. Now, after losing three straight, the Heat can move on to the NBA Finals against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
Here’s a look at the NBA Finals schedule …
Game 1 – Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets, Thursday, June 1, 7:30 p.m.
Game 2 – Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets, Sunday, June 4, 7:00 p.m.
Game 3 – Denver Nuggets at Miami Heat, Wednesday, June 7, 7:30 p.m.
Game 4 – Denver Nuggets at Miami Heat, Friday, June 9, 7:30 p.m.

Game 6 – Denver Nuggets at Miami Heat, Thursday, June 15, 7:30 p.m.
Game 7 – Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets, Sunday, June 18, 7:00 p.m.
