Boston Celtics close out preseason with a hard-fought loss to Miami Heat, 121-100

The end of the preseason is upon us, and the Boston Celtics concluded their last tune-up game with a trip to Miami to battle the Heat. While the game was tightly contested for much of the evening, the short-handed Celtics ran out of gas in the closing minutes, falling to Miami, 121-100. Jayson Tatum led the team in scoring, with 23 points on 8-of-19 shooting from the field and Romeo Langford tacked on an electric performance, with 18 on 7-of-9. But the Heat enjoyed 71 points from Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro and picked up the 21-point win.
