Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had more 2s in this game (17) than the Heat did (14).

Heat beat the Celtics 111-101 to tie the series 1-1 as Jayson Tatum slams the ball on the floor before the team walks off. Tyler Herro had one of the best games of his career with 24 points and 14 dimes. Caleb Martin is MJ again. Adebayo’s pick-and-roll game was elite. Miami’s 23 – 9:34 PM

Bound to be plenty of timeout in the last three minutes of Miami/Boston. More than enough time to hawk Tatum sneakers a couple more times… – 9:23 PM

Rest of #Celtics besides Tatum and Brown a 10 for 29 FG. Porzingis and Holiday are a combined 4 for 18. Can #Celtics turn it on in the 4Q.

The Heat being 5-3 on road in playoffs against Boston the last 24 months is pretty, pretty impressive if you subscribe to theory of lopsided talent gap. Heat, without first and fourth best players tonight. Would be like Celtics playing without Tatum and Holiday OR Porzingis. – 8:48 PM

Miami’s attention to detail on defense is so good. On that last possession, Martin did a great job in the help on the top of the zone anticipating Tatum’s pass. Then when they finally got into rotation, Adebayo closed out to Jaylen’s right hand cause he knows Jaylen doesn’t like – 8:38 PM

Mazzulla saw Tatum was frustrated about something after calling timeout and he called him over for an extended chat before huddling with his assistants. Don’t usually see that. – 8:36 PM

Good start for Bam. Better start for Tatum.
Still no shot attempts for Tyler Herro halfway through the first quarter. Would like to see some off-ball screening to get him free, especially when Bam has it down in the post. – 7:22 PM

The offensive process has been much better
As I expected, more single coverage for Tatum and others
You gotta play this game
14-9 compared to 14-0 in game 1 at least – 7:22 PM
