Match Review
At the beginning of the game, both teams quickly entered the game, Tatum on the Green Army's side took the lead in firing, burst inside and outside, and scored 14 points in a single quarter, while the Heat blossomed more, their three-point hand was bursting, and they made 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, so at the end of the first quarter, the Heat led the Celtics by 1 point at 28-27. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics finally found their outside touch, and a wave of 11-4 offensive waves overtook the score, but the two sharpshooters Martin and Herro of the Heat, the outside line was also hot and could respond, and the two sides launched an offensive battle, but Jaylen Brown of the Green Army suddenly broke out, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, and the Celtics led the Heat by 3 points at halftime 61-58.
At the beginning of the second half, the Heat regained their touch, relying on the outside three-way shots, and directly played a wave of 10-0 offensive climax in the middle of the game, directly stretching the score to double digits. The Celtics immediately responded with seven straight points. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams returned to the rhythm of alternating scoring, but the Heat always maintained a difference of about 10 points, and the Celtics Jalen and White led the team to fight back in the final period, but to no avail, and finally the Heat defeated the Celtics 111-101 to tie the series to 1-1. I have to say that the Heat without Butler is still a soldier, and the Heat also has the Black Eight attribute, I don't know if the Green Army is panicking?
Seven facts that have to be admitted
1. Coach Spo has proven to be the top coach in the league, and with such a remnant lineup, he can toughen the Green Army with the league's No. 1 record, and can also steal a win on the road.
2. Today's Heat's three-point shooting is directly superb, with 23 of 43 three-point shots in the whole game, shooting 53% of the shots, but it is such an exaggerated shooting rate that the Heat only won by 10 points, which proves that the strength of the Celtics is still very strong.
3. Although Celtics star Tatum contributed 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block today, he only scored 6 points in the third quarter and only 4 points in the fourth quarter in the critical chasing stage, of which 4 points and two layups that have lost suspense in the game, that is to say, Tatum only scored 2 points when it came to the critical moment.

6. The hero of the victory, today's Heat interior Adebayo directly beat Porzingis, contributing 21 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, which is also the 21st time in Adebayo's playoff career that he has scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, the second most in team history, second only to James.
