The Miami Heat have stolen the Boston Celtics will to live.
Holding a 2-0 series lead heading into Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday night, the Heat returned home with a chance to put their foot on the necks of the clearly-intimated Celtics. It’s been an unexpected series thus far, with the eight-seeded Heat looking to become just the second bottom seed to ever make the NBA Finals. Doing so against the two-seeded Celtics, which made it to Game 6 of the Finals a season ago after beating Miami in the ECF, is nothing short of unprecedented.
