In a stunning turn of events, the Miami Heat bounced back from a Game 1 defeat to the Boston Celtics with a record-breaking performance in Game 2 of their first-round series. Head coach Erik Spoelstra's strategic shift paid off as the Heat unleashed a barrage of 3-pointers to secure a 111-101 road victory, leveling the series at 1-1.

The Heat's resilience was on full display as they overcame a 34-point deficit from the previous game, defying expectations of a Celtics sweep in the absence of key players. Miami's remarkable victory marked the first time in 30 years that an underdog of 14 points or more won a playoff game by double digits.
