If you thought this was going to be a nice, easy win to allow the Celtics to catch-up to Clevelend and create a virtual tie for the best record in the East then you were sorely mistaken. With Boston gunning for that number 1 spot and the Heat jostling for a playoff position both teams had every reason to win and no excuse to lose.
The Heat came into this game hot, going on the offensive early they took control and stayed in front throughout the first. Despite some offensive flourishes from the Celtics, like Isaiah’s break to the basket below, Boston struggled to overcome the onslaught from Miami.
