1. Team Resiliency did it again.
The Boston Celtics have lost back-to-back games just once since late-January. Oddly enough, that was to these same Miami Heat, following a loss where Boston sat several starters in Toronto.
Let’s pause for a second. Only once in four months this team has lost consecutive games. Let that sink in.
This win was a bounce-back, but it was more than that. It was a dominating butt-kicking on the road against a team that had yet to lose a home playoff game. Boston took the lead with 2:56 remaining in the first quarter and never looked back.
