Don’t know about you, but I’m going to choose to think of the assorted annoying plot twists and eventual outcome of Game 2 of the Celtics’ first-round series with the Heat as an aberration.
An outlier. A one-off. A cannot-be-done-again.
And it probably is all of those things. But this is also true: There’s too much history – and too many recent examples of the Heat power-dribbling past all expectations — to say it with total confidence at the moment.
The Heat – the disciplined, sneaky, undermanned, extremely well-coached Heat – evened their first-round series with the Celtics at a game apiece with a 111-101 victory Wednesday night at TD Garden.
