Without Butler and Rozier, the Heat defeated the Celtics 111-101 and tied the game 1-1! After the game, Butler quoted Brown quotes to mock the opponent, not afraid of losing character.
After last year's Eastern Conference final G3, Jaylen Brown said, "It's better not to let us pull back a game." At the time, his rhetoric had become a joke, as the Celtics eventually lost to the Heat in seven and missed the Finals.
Now Butler brings up the past, sprinkles salt on the wound, and provokes the first in the league with foul language, "Okay, okay, maybe delete it later, no, no, no, I won't delete it." ”
It's really murderous. In fact, although Butler did not play in this game, he encouraged his teammates before the game. Herro revealed, "Before the series, Jimmy Butler texted me to lead the team and bring everybody to it, we lost badly in G1 and everybody responded today. ”
In this G2, Herro played 38 minutes, shooting 7-of-13 (6-of-11 from three-point range) and 4-of-4 free throws, scoring a team-high 24 points and 14 assists, plus 5 rebounds and 1 steal, with a game-high plus/minus of +21. He led the team to 23 three-pointers, a franchise record.
Of course, the more amazing Spoelstra can be called the king of adjustment, according to statistics, Heat coach Spoy has a 10-3 record in G2 after losing the series G1!
