MIAMI -- Perhaps it was a case of the always-powerful South Beach flu.
Or maybe Kyrie Irving was due for a rough night after a stellar 47-point performance Monday night.
What is certain is the Boston Celtics' 16-game win streak is over, with the C's falling victim to the Heat, 104-98, in arguably Miami's most complete performance of the season.
Irving, whose Celtics hadn't lost a game since starting the season 0-2, finished with 23 points on 11-of-22 shooting, while rookie Jayson Tatum added 18. Dion Waiters hit a pair of 3-pointers in the final minutes to finish with 26, while Goran Dragic led Miami with 27.
