Winner of the Celtics in Game 7, Miami has officially validated its ticket for the NBA Finals. And it was perhaps not due to chance when we know that a certain Kevin Love was present in the workforce… judging by a crazy stat on the former Cleveland, we were even certain to attend such a scenario.
Serious and diligent, the Heat left Boston no chance in Game 7 (103-84). While limiting Jayson Tatum & co. with less than 40% shooting success, Erik Spoelstra’s men did the job in attack with Caleb Martin and Jimmy Butler to secure the scoring mark. Under these conditions, the coach did not even need to play his entire squad.
With only 12 minutes on average, Kevin Love was relatively little used on the series and did not even walk the floors during the final meeting. However, it doesn’t matter to him since he will now be playing his fifth career Finals. On this subject, a truly mind-blowing stat came out about the big man… in fact, he was practically guaranteed to play them again in 2022-23!

“He got robbed”: Heat controversy over Jimmy Butler after Game 7!
Present in the league for fifteen years now, K-Love has only played in the playoffs five times, this season included. Long very strong individually at the Timberwolves, however, he systematically ended up on vacation in April because of a team that was too weak around him. He had to wait to join LeBron James to the Cavs to discover the joys of the post-season.
Crucial member of the legendary coronation of 2016 against the Warriors, however, he also experienced the lean years following the departure of the King two years later, before being cut during the current campaign by Cleveland. A move that now greatly benefits Miami, which may have found its lucky charm with the veteran. The fans are in any case convinced:
He’s the 4 leaf clover of the NBA.

It’s the four leaf clover of the NBA.
Clearly, the Heat were destined to reach the Finals once Kevin Love signed from South Beach this season. It now remains to go all the way, which the interior has only managed to do once in four attempts. Suffice to say that the title is not at all assured against the Nuggets.
