The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will renew their rivalry in the Eastern Conference Finals with the winner getting a shot to win the NBA title, which neither team has done in quite some time.

CELTICS OUST RAPTORS IN GAME 7, HEAD TO EAST FINALS VS. HEAT
The Heat are coming off of a five-game victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, which had the best record in the NBA throughout the season. Miami previously swept the Indiana Pacers in the first round.
The matchup will be the first time the two teams have met in a playoff series since the 2012 NBA Playoffs.
In that Eastern Conference Finals matchup, the Heat defeated the Celtics in seven games. Miami boasted LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh while Boston matched them up with Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.
The two teams are totally different now.
