The Boston Celtics have again staved off elimination with a 110-97 win over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference NBA finals.
The Heat still lead the best of seven series 3-2 with game six in Miami on Sunday.
Derrick White top scored with 24 points for the Celtics making 8 of 11 shots -- including 6 of 8 from 3-point range.
It keeps alive Boston's hopes of becoming the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a series.
The winner will play Denver Nuggest in the NBA finals.
