BOSTON — The victory over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night brought relief because it snapped a four-game losing streak.
But Wednesday night’s 108-96 victory over the Boston Celtics at TD Garden delivered something far greater — hope of potential big things to come in the postseason.
In a game loaded with playoff intensity down to the final seconds, the Heat made a fourth-quarter stand to solidify their place atop the Eastern Conference and clinch a playoff berth.
