White saved the Celtics' season and forced a Game 7 back in Boston on Monday night with a buzzer-beating putback in the final second -- literally -- of the fourth quarter.
White's buzzer-beater is the sixth in league history for a team facing elimination. He also became just the second player ever to hit a winning shot at the buzzer in a playoff game when his team was trailing at the time -- Miami led 103-102 with three seconds remaining before the final sequence. The only other player to accomplish this feat is Jordan, who sank a buzzer-beater in Game 5 of the Chicago Bulls' first-round series versus the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989.
Derrick White is the 2nd player in NBA history to make a game-winning buzzer-beater when facing elimination and his team trailed prior to the shot.
