The Miami Heat were the more physical team on Wednesday night at TD Garden. They also flipped the script from Game 1, outshooting the Celtics from beyond the arc to help even the series at one.
Al Horford, the Celtics' sixth man when the team with the most talented top six in the NBA this season has their starting lineup intact, was excellent off the bench in his first shift on Wednesday.
The visitors' pace and decisiveness with the ball were paramount to that success, helping Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. drill 2/3 triples.But Boston did get 14 points from Jayson Tatum, the most in the period, including two on an alley-oop from Jaylen Brown in transition. And with the Heat consistently creating clean looks when they weren't coughing the ball up, turnovers stemming that tide were critical to Boston taking a 61-58 lead into halftime.So was a 9-0 run by Jaylen Brown. The 2022 All-NBA Second Team selection drilled three consecutive triples, capping that burst by swooping in for a steal, then burying a three, firing him up and sending the TD Garden faithful into a frenzy.
