NBA playoffs: Heat dominate Celtics in 26-point win to take stunning 3-0 lead in Eastern Conference finals

The Miami Heat are just a win away from reaching the NBA Finals.

The Heat, after stealing a pair of games at TD Garden to start the series, ran over the Boston Celtics on Sunday night in South Florida. The Heat cruised to a 128-102 win over the Celtics, which gave them a 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals and put them on the cusp of reaching their first NBA Finals since 2020.

“As you can tell, the rim was as big as the ocean for everybody,” Heat star Bam Adebayo said on TNT.
