The Boston Celtics are the latest team unable to find an answer Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.
The Heat, after initially looking outmatched at TD Garden on Wednesday night, rallied in the second half before holding on to take Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. Butler put up 35 points, and helped lead the Heat to a massive 46-point third quarter before taking the 123-116 win in Boston.
After a tight first quarter to start the night, the Celtics finally surged ahead in the second after a massive 20-5 run in the middle of the period. That briefly gave Boston a 13-point lead, before it had to settle with a nine-point advantage at halftime. While the Heat shot nearly 54% from the field as a team in the first half, and were led by 15 points from Butler, they had nine turnovers for 19 Celtics points.
Jayson Tatum also had 18 of his 30 points in the first half, and the Celtics took a huge 40-16 advantage in points scored in the paint. A lot of that came from center Robert Williams, who put up 12 points and didn’t miss a single shot from the lane in the first 24 minutes. The Heat completely flipped the game around to start the second half, and tied things up almost instantly after opening the third on a 21-12 run while shooting 9-of-13 from the field. That left Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla livid.46 is the most points scored in any quarter in Heat postseason history.
