The Miami Heat took the lead in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals with a 118-107 victory over the Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics took a 52-49 lead into halftime but were blown away in the 3rd quarter 39-14. Miami comes into this one as a -3.5 favorite at home.
The Heat never relinquished the lead. The Celtics were missing Marcus Smart and Al Horford in Game 1. Smart has a quad injury but is questionable for tonight’s game. Al Horford will miss another game with a covid illness. The Celtics will look to even the series tonight, but the Heat looked locked in and battle-tested.
