The new-look Miami Heat did not seem so scary despite the addition of former Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier to their ball club, the Celtics flattening the Heat 143-110 as Miami’s backcourt seemed unable to stop anyone on Boston’s roster.
The Celtics shot north of 60% from the field, 55% from beyond the arc, and were nearly perfect from the free throw line, whatever bogeymen left over from the two team’s last collision in the postseason thoroughly exorcised. Jayson Tatum (26 points, 8 rebounds), Kristaps Porzingis (19 points), Jaylen Brown (18 points, 5 assists), and Jrue Holiday (17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists) all had great nights, Porzingis even spraining his ankle and missing much of the contest.
NBC Sports Boston’s Drew Carter, Eddie House and Amina Smith joined Brian Scalabrine after the win to talk over what they saw on “Postgame Live”.
