On April 25, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued today, and in a game that just ended, the Celtics lost 101-111 at home to the Heat, causing the biggest upset since the playoffs began. How outrageous the Heat's victory over the Celtics is, 6 stats tell you.
Data 1: 23 three-pointers. The most important component of the Heat's win is their three-point shooting, the Heat made 23 of 43 three-pointers in the whole game, shooting a whopping 53.5%, and 4 of the starting 5 people shot more than 3 three-pointers: Jaime Jr. 3 of 6, Jovic 3 of 4, Martin 5 of 6, Herro 6 of 11, only center Adebayo did not hit a three-point shot (0 of 1). In fact, among the nine players on the team, only Reba and Lefu did not score three points. What's more important to add is that 23 three-pointers are the single-game three-pointer record in the Heat's all-time playoffs.
Stat 2: The Heat's starters. In this game, the Heat's starting 5 all scored double-doubles, including Herro 24 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists, Adebayo 21 points and 10 rebounds, Martin 21 points, Jaime Jr. 14 points, Jovic 11 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
Data 3: 2. In this game, the absolute core of the Heat, Butler, and the main guard Rozier did not appear, but the remnants of the Heat achieved an unexpected victory, and it can only be said that the Heat is really hard, and the real core of the Heat may not be Butler, but head coach Spoelstra.
Data 4: The extremes of the green Kai double probe flower. Brown was 13-of-23 from the field and 4-of-9 from three-point range with 33 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, while Tatum was 10-of-20 from the field and 2-of-6 from three-point range with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. It's actually quite the opposite, as Tatum has a plus/minus of +6 and Brown has a plus/minus of -22.
Data 5:9 in 1.This is the report card handed over by Celtics starting center Porzingis, in the face of the Heat who are generally not tall on the opposite side, Porzingis, who has an absolute height advantage, played an extraordinary struggle, and only got 6 points, 8 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the whole game, and the plus/minus is exaggerated -32.
Stats 6: -23.This is White's plus/minus, in the regular season many people said that White was the real thigh of the Celtics, but in today's game, White was the typical dragger.
