In Game 3 of the first round of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs, the Heat hosted the Celtics. In the first quarter of the game, the offensive efficiency of both teams was not high, especially the Heat fell into a scoring drought, scoring only 3 points in the first quarter, and at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Heat 21-12. In the second quarter of the competition, the Celtics were full of firepower, scoring 42 points in a single quarter, while the Heat was powerless, and at halftime, the Celtics led the Heat 63-39.
Yibian fought again, the Green Army always took the initiative on the court, and the Heat was still struggling on the offensive end, and at the end of the third quarter, the Green Army was 87-61 Heat. In the final quarter of the game, the huge point difference made the game lose suspense early, and the game went into garbage time, and finally the Celtics defeated the Heat 104-84, and the Green Army led the Heat 2-1 in the series.
Heat player stats: Bam Adebayo 20 points and 9 rebounds, Herro 15 points, Harkes 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Jovic 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Highsmith 8 points and 5 assists.
Celtics player stats: Tatum 22 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, Jaylen Brown 22 points and 8 rebounds, Porzingis 18 points and 5 rebounds, White 16 points and 5 rebounds, Horford 9 points and 6 rebounds.
Eight facts that have to be admitted:
1. Tatum performed decently, playing 38 minutes, shooting 6 of 16 from the field, 2 of 7 from three-point range, and scoring 22 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Tatum's shooting percentage is still not high, the mid-range is good today, the back turn jumper is very handsome, but the three-point feel has not been recovered, and his teammates played very well today, I feel that Tatum has not made much effort, what Tatum needs to do is to remain stable and do a good job when the team can't open the situation.
2. Porzingis atonement, efficiently cutting down 18 points and 5 rebounds, hitting three three-pointers. In the last game, Platinum was in a bad state, and was completely blown up by Adebayo, and proved himself in this game, playing very resolutely, attacking and defending together, his play is the guarantee of the victory of the Green Army, and I feel that Spo will adjust his defense in the next game, and Platinum needs to come up with a countermeasure.
3. Jaylen Brown sweated slightly and easily scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Brown was not in the state in the first half, recovered in time in the second half, dunked and dunked, and the singles were very powerful, but the three-point hand was not good, 4 shots and 0 hits, playing a little too selfish, there were several balls that should be passed, and Brown needed to play more reasonably.
4. White Green Army True Nucleus, got 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. White is the most stable player of the Green Army, scoring 12 points in a single quarter in the second quarter to open up the difference, White is a strong player for the team to overcome difficulties, he holds the ball to make people feel at ease, too stable, full of enthusiasm for baskets under the basket, ball quotient and psychological quality are too strong, he is really an underrated player, and the Spurs must be a high-quality product.
5. Adebayo tried his best, played 38 minutes, and got 20 points and 9 rebounds. Reba is the real thigh of the Heat, the Heat can't do without him, but he is still a role that guards more than offense, and his independent offensive ability is not good, Butler needs to stand up and score more after his injury, but Adebayo is just a second-in-command, and he can't be asked to do more.
6. Hiro was magically absent, played 33 minutes, shot 5-of-16 from the field, 3-of-9 from three-point range, and scored 15 points. Hiro is unpredictable, today he feels completely lost under the high-pressure defense, all kinds of iron, he is not the positioning of the big boss, the player with the attribute of the nerve knife, the ability to handle the ball is still not good, the defense is still given away, as long as he is there and can't score, it is basically a side effect, and the Heat need his super god to play if they want to win.
7, Harkes future star, played 33 minutes, shot 5 of 13, got 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Harkes performed decently, three points did not open today, 3 shots 0 of 0, but he still played his role on the court, a rookie can be the team's main control in the first playoffs, which is enough to show that he is excellent, the talent is not too high but the maturity is too perfect, always keep calm, the team lacks stable scoring points, and he needs to attack more resolutely.
8. The Celtics defeated the Heat, leading the series 2-1 in total. The Heat won the second game to prove the resilience of the team, but the strength on paper is too bad, especially Butler can't play, scorers such as Rozier and Richardson are also absent due to injury, the Heat want to complete the Black Eight again is almost impossible task, there will be no miracles, the Celtics are still the most promising team to break out of the East.
