The top-seeded Celtics are looking to get back on track and avoid an upset against the No. 8 Heat in the NBA Playoffs.
Miami tied the first-round series at one game apiece with a 111-101 victory in Game 2. Tyler Herro finished with 24 points and 14 assists for the Heat, and the team shot 23-of-43 (53.5 percent) from 3-point range.
Boston's offense sputtered in the second half, as it put just 40 points on the scoreboard over the final two quarters. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum combined to rack up 61 points, but Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis had rough shooting nights.
Last season, the Heat ended the Celtics' championship dreams in the Eastern Conference Finals. Can Miami pull off another stunner?
