Miami Heat (3-2) vs. Boston Celtics (2-3) - 8:30pm ET - TNT
Maybe you completely checked out of the NBA playoffs after the Sixers vomited all over themselves in the fourth quarter of Game 6 and the second half of Game 7. I wouldn’t blame you, that’s probably a good mental health decision. Or maybe you closed the book on these Eastern Conference Finals when the Heat were up nine in the third quarter of Game 4, looking to finish off a shocking sweep.
Since then, however, things have gotten, dare I say, compelling. Shot variance has swung in the completely opposite direction for Boston, who have outscored Miami by 39 points in the five-plus quarters since that Game 4 third quarter lead.
