MIAMI -- After perhaps the most surprising result of the postseason thus far -- the shorthanded, No. 8-seeded Heat beating the No. 1-seeded Celtics in Game 2 to tie the first-round series -- it was natural to wonder how things would play out in the pivotal Game 3.
Would Boston, after the head-scratching loss, rebound and again resemble the club that won the East by 14 games in the regular season? Or had coach Erik Spoelstra and his scrappy group found a formula it could repeat to play spoiler in the series for a second straight postseason?
