The Miami Heat drop to 10-12 on the season and snap a 3 game winning streak to the Boston Celtics, losing 134-121. In an ECF rematch, the Jimmy Butler-less Heat played extremely well offensively, but ended up lacking some star power as Jayson Tatum erupted for 49 points. The final score doesn’t show how close of a game this really was. Boston came out strong and jumped to a big early lead, but Miami responded with a run of their own and kept the game close for the most part of the night.
The Heat had 3 players score over 20 points in Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Max Strus.
