The Miami Heat got a huge win Friday night over the Boston Celtics.
Just a game and a few days after dropping one to those same Celtics in Boston on last Wednesday, a high-scoring shootout of an affair between a team that many consider the league’s best (record-wise they are) and a Miami Heat team bereft of Jimmy Butler, the Heat were able to come out to answer the call in another thriller, though for different reasons.
Whereas the first matchup was back and forth for most of it, with the Miami Heat faltering late and not being able to keep up with Boston’s offensive prowess, the second matchup was a bit different.
It was one that featured many heartstopping moments as opposed to the up-and-down anxiety of the first one. Take this one, in example.
Im fact, there were probably none more calamity-inducing than Jaylen Brown’s bank shot with seconds left in the game to send it to OT.
Inevitably, the Miami Heat would ultimately win and though Jimmy Butler did the heavy lifting late and in the overtime period, he certainly got a ton of help from his teammates.
