Who has the most left in the tank for Game 7?

The Miami Heat must have been sitting around Friday night with ice clinking in cool drinks, keeping tabs on this brutally physical playoff series and rooting for it to go on and on. And on.
Because, really, will the eventual victor have anything left to face the Heat on Tuesday?
First things first.
Boston and Milwaukee have pushed this Eastern Conference semifinal series to a Game 7, and it has been a punch for punch contest from beginning to end. Most playoff matchups look like that, but Miami, the No. 1 seed, already has clinched its conference finals berth and has the advantage of waiting and watching the Bucks and Celtics duke it out.

Three Celtics (Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart) and two Bucks (Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday) played 40 minutes or more in Boston’s 108-95 Game 6 win Friday night at Fiserv Forum. That’s just an example of the all-out effort. The physical toll has shown itself in several areas for both teams at different times.
