The Boston Celtics enter Tuesday’s matchup with the Miami Heat riding high after overcoming a late scare to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
The win saw them witness their leading scorer return to form following a one-game struggle against Milwaukee. Jayson Tatum torched the Blazers for 34 points and a career-high eight assists. Jaylen Brown was also phenomenal in this game, dropping 16 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter.
Against a Miami team with no shortage of wing defenders, how Boston’s young duo follows up their Sunday showcase will be worth keeping an eye on in a game that tips off at 6:30 EST.
