Location: TD Garden, Boston
Event: Eastern Conference Semifinals – Game 7
Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat
The TD Garden was a sea of green madness. Game 7. Winner goes to the Eastern Conference Finals. Loser goes home.
Every camera tried to find him.
Kyle Wilson.
But there he was again—in that same gray hoodie, leg braced, heart pacing faster than the beat of the intro music. A storm with no outlet. No release. No rim to attack. Just a war he wasn't allowed to fight.
Ari sat two rows behind the bench, hands gripped together like she was holding her breath in real time.
But Kyle didn't flinch. Didn't even blink.
He watched.
And the game began.
First Quarter – The Firestarter
From the tip, the Celtics looked like wolves backed into a cage.
Tatum came out with murder in his eyes.
He crossed over Jimmy Butler at the top, jabbed left, pulled up right—cash.
