Spurs Ex Derrick White, Celtics Fall Short vs. Heat; NBA Finals Schedule

The Miami Heat is going to the NBA Finals after beating the Boston Celtics. Now, the team faces the Denver Nuggets.

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.
