The Boston Celtics wilted in the white-hot lights shone on them by a determined Miami Heat ball club in Game 2 of their East Finals series. Now, the Celtics find themselves in a 0-2 series deficit headed back to Miami, one loss away from the dreaded 0-3 hole.
Boston has come back from a 0-2 start before, most recently against a Jimmy Butler-led team when he was with the Chicago Bulls, but this series feels very different from that one. Can Boston find the right combination of effort, scheme, and coaching to save their season from the brink of disaster?
