After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Heat 113-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
