On Wednesday night, the Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics 123-116 in their own stadium, the TD Garden. Despite the fact that the Greens managed to control half of the game, the Heat managed to prevail in the third quarter scoring 46 points in just twelve minutes.
Undoubtedly, the player of the game was the 33-year-old guard, Jimmy Butler, who had 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, although his greatest contribution in the game was the 6 intercepted balls, since in each one of them, the Florida team managed to capitalize with points.
Despite a somewhat shaky start, the Boston team was leading the scoring for the middle of the game, where their two stars, Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, showed a drop in their pace, so veteran guard Marcus Smart , had to take the reins of game creation to give them the upper hand.
However, when the third quarter arrived, the Miami team found a second wind, since, despite being 12 points down, they managed to score 46 points in just twelve minutes to take control of the game. During that quarter, it was not only Butler who delivered results, as it is also worth noting the defensive and offensive play of the pivot, Bam Adebayo, who had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
By the fourth quarter, the Heat began to let go of their huge lead, until reaching a point where the Celtics closed to just four points in the final minutes of the series opener; however, they were unable to capitalize on Miami’s moment of weakness, with Tatum turning over three consecutive turnovers.
The next game in the series will be played in Miami this Friday at 6:30 p.m. Central Mexico time. For that matchup, Boston coach Joe Mazzula will need to find a way to properly divide the minutes between the starters and the bench, and also be creative enough to generate plays that involve his stars in the most decisive moments. .
