In one of the more extreme examples of intense Miami Heat playoff basketball, the No. 1-seeded team in the East continued to show their resolve and determination in an incredible and thrilling 109-103 Game 2 win over the host Boston Celtics to take a 2-1 series lead.
Jaylen Brown, who scored 40 points, cut the Heat’s lead to just one point after a three-pointer with just 2:40 to play but Miami responded — just like they did all night long — to steal back homecourt advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals and are now just two wins away from reaching the NBA Finals.
