The Miami Heat made history in their Game 2 win over the Boston Celtics. They poured in 23 three-pointers, falling just two short of the NBA record for most made in a playoff game.
A mix of outlandish shot-making and poor Celtics defense contributed to the feat, but Boston’s lackluster showing stood out most. They gave Miami far too much space to shoot, and in the end, players who normally aren’t a huge threat from outside handed the Celtics a loss at TD Garden.
Leading up to Game 3 on Saturday, the Celtics were calm.
