The Locker Room Of Miami Heat Played Sad Ed Sheeran Song After Loosing To Celtics In Game 6

At the worst time of the year, the Miami Heat are on a three-game losing run.

The play-in team appeared to be headed for the NBA Finals after taking a 3-0 series lead. They have, however, had trouble finishing off the Boston Celtics.

Miami Heat Listened To Sad Ed Sheeran Song After Loosing To Celtics In Game 6

The Miami Heat can thank Ed Sheeran if they can overcome a painful Game 6 defeat and triumph in Game 7.

The quiet in the Heat locker room was apparently shattered by the dulcet tones of Ed Sheeran after watching Derrick White make a buzzer-beating putback in the waning milliseconds of Saturday night’s game.

Ed Sheeran’s music has had a significant role in the lives of many individuals.

Now, the Miami Heat are turning to Sheeran’s songs and lyrics in a precarious situation: they reportedly listened to one of his depressing songs in the locker room following this weekend’s terrible, miraculous Game 6 defeat to the Boston Celtics.

“That was one of the quietest locker rooms I’ve ever been in after a game,” ESPN’s Nick Friedell said on “Get Up” on Monday, ahead of Game 7. “Now you have to understand, Jimmy Butler usually has that speaker bumping in that room — win or lose. It was silent. And after about 10 or 15 minutes, Gabe Vincent walks over to his locker, and he hits play on his phone, and he plays ‘Life Goes On’ by Ed Sheeran. And certainly, that’s the mantra the Heat want to have going into Game 7 tonight. Push all the other stuff away, focus on the game.”

After a buddy passed away, Sheeran wrote a song on mourning. However, some of the lyrics do translate  for the Heat:

It hit like a train, I ran out of words
I got nothing to say, everything hurts
And I know love leads to pain
But memories serve our sweetest refrain

The Heat are not in danger of losing the series even though they are up 3-0 after the Celtics’ last three victories. If Boston is successful in mounting a comeback on Monday night, it will mark the first instance of its kind in NBA history.
