The Boston Celtics were determined not to get embarrassed on their home court of TD Garden two games in a row, and managed to become the team doing the embarrassing as a result in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference finals series with the Miami Heat on Monday night, the Celtics tying the series up 2-2 with a 102-82 domination of the Heat.
The wire-to-wire victory was driven by star forward Jayson Tatum’s 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, with an additional four other Celtics scoring in double figures on the way to the crucial win for Boston. The series now heads back to Florida for Game 5 as the two East behemoths continue trading postseason blows.
