The Miami Heat pulled off a stunning upset in Game 2 of their first-round NBA playoff series against the Boston Celtics, tying the series with a resounding 111-101 victory at TD Garden. The Heat, who were double-digit underdogs for the second straight game, defied the odds and silenced their critics with a dominant performance.
After being called out by former Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine for a controversial play in Game 1, the Heat came out with extra motivation and a clear game plan. They focused on shooting more 3-pointers and being aggressive on offense, resulting in a franchise playoff-record 23 triples made in the game.
Leading the charge for the Heat were Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin, who combined for 45 points and 11 made 3-pointers. The team’s mantra of “Heat Culture” was on full display, as they showcased their toughness, professionalism, and unselfish play throughout the game.
Despite being counted out by many, the Heat remain confident in their ability to compete with the Celtics and believe in their chances to advance in the playoffs. As they head back to Miami for Game 3, the Heat are riding high on their Game 2 victory and are ready to continue proving their doubters wrong.
