With the Miami Heat's dominating win over the Boston Celtics, the Heat punched their ticket to the Finals where they'll have a showdown with the Denver Nuggets.
One of the players who helped get them there was St. Mary's High School alum Gabe Vincent.
Vincent grew up about a half hour south of Stockton in Modesto, where he attended Modesto Christian High School as a Freshman before going to St. Mary's High School in Stockton.
At St. Mary's, he played for three years, eventually becoming the school record holder in points and three-pointers made, according to the NBA.
Vincent went undrafted in 2018, but ultimately signed with the Miami Heat as a free agent on a two-way contract in 2020. He also played some games a Stockton King in the 2019-2020 season.
Vincent and the Heat entered the playoffs as underdogs, but found themselves in the Eastern Conference Finals, going 3-0 against the No. 2 seeded Boston Celtics.
The Celtics pushed the series to a Game 7, but failed to overcome Miami. Vincent scored 10 points with four assists and one rebound in Game 7. However, he had his best scoring performance in Game 3 with 29 points.
The Heat and Nuggets battle it out in the NBA Finals on June 1.
