The Miami Heat are now just two wins from becoming the second No. 8 seed to make the NBA Finals. 

Behind another strong effort from Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, the Heat defeated the Boston Celtics 111-105 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. Butler finished with 27 points while Adebayo added 22 points and 16 rebounds. 

The Heat are close to joining the 1999 New York Knicks as No. 8 seeds to make the Finals. 

Just a month ago, the Heat were in danger of missing the playoffs. They also trailed the Chicago Bulls late in an elimination game of the play-in tournament. The Heat knocked off the No. 1 seed Milwaukee Bucks and the No. 5 Knicks before the conference finals. 

Game 3 of the Heat vs. Celtics is Tuesday in Miami.
