Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro had impressive performances in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday night that left them both flexing in the postgame press conference. But before Bam rolled up his sleeves at that presser, he talked about what changed for the Miami Heat and led to their dominant third quarter:
“I feel like our energy shifted. That was the biggest key. Our energy shifted. We started getting stops on defense and running, getting in transition and the crowd got into it.”
That quote may sound innocent enough on its surface, but those steeped in the sump of NBA Twitter know that it was a clear jab toward the Boston Celtics.
