The Heat started things off with a Bam alley oop, though it was more of a tip in.
It was Marcus Start who got things rolling for the Celtics to start. He’s grown a lot more versatile this season. The Heat defense just had no answers for the Celtics’ offense as they went on a 7-0 run. Miami’s offense was atrocious, going 1 for 7 from the field.
The Celtics stretched out their scoring into a 15-0 run, forcing the Heat into a 2-3 zone before Miami’s reserves entered the game.
Boston’s assault didn’t end there with Gordon Hayward slamming one home, and Jason Tatum lighting Miami up from beyond the arc.
