The Celtics came to the table in Miami

The Boston Celticsled by the 25 points of Jaylene Brown and the 22 with twelve rebounds from Jayson Tatumhit the table in Miami on Wednesday by beating the Heat 93-80 to lead 3-2 in the final of the Oriental Conference and place yourself one trump away from returning to the Final twelve years after the last time.

After the resounding win in Boston two days earlier, the Celtics defeated Miami with an outstanding second half (56-38) and deserved the chance to continue the series on Friday night. TD Garden.

Brown, with 25 points, thirteen of those in the fourth period, Tatum, who hit the triple double with 22 points, twelve rebounds and nine assists, and a magnificent Al Horfordwith 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists and some authentic leadership moves, the team of Ime Udokawho played his last Finals in 2010, when he fell to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The numbers are next to you. In the 44 times they’ve led 3-2 in a series, they’ve moved up 40 times.

Miami paid the discharge of Tyler Herroz and the bad day Kyle Lowry, who scored no points. The double-double of Bam Adebayo18 points and ten rebounds and thirteen from a Jimmy Butler still held back by the physical problems that drag on.

the men of Erik Spoelstraat they finished 30-for-94 shots from the field and 7-for-45 on 3-pointers, just 15% shooting, too little to keep the Celtics in check.

SLOW START

The defense ruled in the FTX Arena, with low percentages from both teams and a lot of mistakes. Tatum missed his first six shots and scored just one field goal in the first half while in Miami Lowry and Max Strusat the starting five, reached the third half with no points.

With both teams in big trouble from a 3-point range, with just four each in the first half and percentages below 25%, the game was played out in the paint and that’s where Miami marked territory.

Directed by Bam Adebayothe Heat took nine offensive rebounds off two of the Celtics, in which Al Horford he was the one who struggled the most, with ten points and three rebounds.

But despite Tatum’s problems, who also noticed some discomfort in his right shoulder, the Heat failed to maximize their advantage and went into halftime by just a five point margin (42-37).

THE CELTS ESCAPE IN THE THIRD PERIOD

And the Celtics came out with a different rhythm in the third period. They hit the table and doubled the Heat (32-16), finishing the quarter with a 10-0 run that penalized Miami’s crappy percentages, just four out of 23 from the field.

Horford, with tremendous competitive momentum, led the way and went into an 8-0 run to start. Tatum and Derrick White they sealed Boston’s superiority in the closing minutes, pushing Ime Udoka’s men to 69-58 to enter the final period.

Adebayo, Lowry and PJ Tucker. they scored no points, Butler only had two and Gabe Vincent’s six points were not enough to satisfy Boston’s winning hunger.

MIAMI SMELTS

The Celtics were unblocked and started the final period with a triple from Jaylen Brown and a triple and jump basket from Tatum to escape 77-60 and force Spoelstra’s time-out.

Udoka’s sealed a 21-2, with Tatum’s triples for the 83-60 leaving the Heat out of options and unable to maintain that rhythm.

Adebayo, with eight consecutive runs, tried to support his team but couldn’t do anything against a Brown who scored thirteen points in the last period, including a spectacular one-handed dunk for 89-71.

The Celtics took a memorable win on the Heat field and will be able to play for the ticket to the finals this Friday. His rival becomes the winner of the series between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks, with the former leading 3-1.
