MIAMI -- Erik Spolestra's eyes traced the shot as it left Jimmy Butler's hands. The arc looked good. It was rotating perfectly. The emotions swelled in the Miami Heat coach's chest as he instinctively kicked out his legs in the final moments of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals inside FTX Arena.
"I thought for sure it was going down," Spoelstra said. "I thought it would have been an incredible storyline for Jimmy to pull up and hit that 3."
"I was like, man, what the hell," Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown said.
