Not since Boston and Los Angeles in 2020 has the sports world's attention and curiosity been so concentrated on one area of America as Florida in 2023. The Boston Red Sox were reigning World Series champions, the New England Patriots were Super Bowl champions, and the Boston Bruins had reached the Stanley Cup Finals by the summer of 2019. The following year was devoted to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers snapped a 32-year championship drought ended and the Lakers claimed their first NBA title in the bubble.

Skip Bayless has done what he does best; he has delivered another brave spin on the grain. Bayless had hoped the Heat would rise to be the NBA champions long before the mud settled on Miami's 103-84 victory on the road in Boston on Tuesday night.

The Miami Heat had a long history. No team in the NBA's history had ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the series. Miami halted the Boston Celtics 103-84 to advance to the NBA Finals on Monday night, ending the streak to 151-0. There will be the Denver Nuggets.

Miami made sure that tradition was on their side.

In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the NBA has issued two corrections to late officiating calls, but the Celtics had no problem with the refs' decision to add 0.9 seconds to the clock in Miami, a play that was vital as the Celtics defeated the Heat at the buzzer to force Monday's Game 7 in Boston. The league's Last Two Minutes report, which is a customary public-facing investigation of the officials' performance at the ends of games, was released on Sunday. Two calls were incorrected by James Williams, Zach Zarba, and Josh Tiven's officiating crew, not the Celtics, according to the Game 6 report, both of which benefited the Heat and not the Celtics. Officials failed to spot Caleb Martin's lane violation on a missed free throw by the Celtics' Jaylen Brown with 1:01 remaining. In addition, officials failed to call a foul against Gabe Vincent of Miami on a missed layup by Boston's Jayson Tatum, who should have been allowed two free throws with 33.5 seconds remaining in the game. Most important, the NBA discovered that officials were correct to give Boston a full 3 seconds on its last possession, which allowed for Boston's game-winning tip-in.
