The 2023 NBA Finals matchup is set.

The Miami Heat advanced to the Finals on Monday after a 103-84 series-clinching win over the Boston Celtics in Game 7 in Boston.

Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 28 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Caleb Martin also had a big game with 26 points and 10 rebounds.

Miami closed out the series after the Celtics won three games in a row to force a Game 7. On Saturday, Boston's Derrick White tipped in the game-winning shot with 0.1 seconds on the clock to keep the Celtics alive. The Heat won the first three games in the series, including by a 26-point margin in Game 3.

The Heat will face the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic in the Finals. The Nuggets are making their first-ever Finals appearance, while the Heat will make their seventh franchise appearance and their first since the 2020 bubble season.

Is there a rivalry between the Heat and Nuggets?

Butler says there isn't a rivalry between the Heat and Nuggets. "I don’t think that’s a rivalry. It sounds good. But I don’t even want to get into it. (Jokic) is a hell of a player," Butler told Complex in February 2022.

But the Nuggets and Heat were involved in an altercation on Nov. 8, 2021, that resulted in a suspension for Jokic and a fine for Butler. Jokic shoved Markieff Morris (who's now on the Dallas Mavericks) from behind following a hard foul from Morris. Heat players were upset at what they perceived to be a cheap shot from Jokic and Butler could be seen telling Jokic to "bring your (expletive) to the back." A viral photo showed Butler, Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo lined up outside the Nuggets' locker room postgame.

Jokic was ejected from the game and received a one-game suspension. Morris received a flagrant foul, $50,000 fine for his role and subsequently missed 58 games with whiplash. Butler received a technical foul and $30,000 fine "for attempting to escalate the altercation and failing to comply with an NBA Security interview as part of the review process pertaining to an on-court matter," the league said. But it appears to be water under the bridge.
