Despite losing their first play-in game and entering the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat find themselves in the driver’s seat against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals, taking a commanding lead over the team that defeated them in seven games last postseason.
Miami made a statement in Game 3, completely dominating the Celtics,128-102. Many have doubted the Heat all postseason, but it is hard to bet against them reaching the NBA Finals now, considering they are just one win away and that no team has ever lost a series after going up 3-0.
