Game Preview
The fact that the Celtics lost at home to one of their biggest title contenders this year is enough to understand how badly they want to rebound. It was 118-112 for the guests, who trashed the third-best defense in the league.
Jayson Tatum scored 33 points yet made only four of his 13 three-pointers. Derrick White added 22, while Jaylen Brown had a tough night with only 10 buckets.
Miami lost its fifth event in a row. This time, the Clippers took the win in Florida, 119-104. This was the fourth straight they lost at the Kaseya Center. With a 29-36 record, their playoff ambitions are at stake here.
Heat is now 15-16 at home, which is terrible when we remember how good they played in Miami. Also, they are 1-5 over the last six appearances at Kaseya Center.
