The Boston Celtics travelled to South Beach, Florida Thursday night, on the second night of a back-to-back and the second game of three on the road. Boston were riding high after a feel good victory over Orlando as they looked to put the early season struggles behind them and get the season back on track. The Celtics third win of the year was sorely needed as they hit possibly the biggest challenge of the young season, a road meeting with the white hot Miami Heat (6-1).
1st Quarter
Both teams traded misses to open the game as it was a case of both teams sizing one another up early.
