NBA Thursday Night
Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics
Game 2
If Game 1 was any indication, the Eastern Conference finals is going to be a long series. The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics went into overtime on Tuesday, with Bam Adebayo's incredible block of Jayson Tatum the difference in Miami's 117-114 victory.
The Celtics led by 14 early in the fourth quarter, and that should have been a big enough cushion with how well they've defended in these playoffs. But it wasn't, because the Celtics stagnated offensively and allowed the Heat to score critical early-clock buckets.
Amazingly, these are the only two teams that haven't trailed by 15 points during these playoffs, another reason to believe that this will continue to be a closely-contested series.
