Tatum stripped for the 10 billionth time these playoffs.

Celtics have stayed fairly focused playing well on both sides of the floor and staying with it

Theis has 6 fouls with a lot of time left in the half. The pressure the Celtics are putting on the Heat is definitely mattering.

Tyler Hero is going to be a major player in this league

I was impressed with Toronto. I'm more impressed with the Heat. They are darn good

I typically don't like when Tatum is the tallest Celtic out there, but Bam is only about 6ft 9 so it's not so bad right now

So now the Heat are even smaller, which strikes me as a terrible idea for them

Celtics seem like a full team willing to gut it out tonight and play better defense. That was a really good half to watch. Very different from how they played against Toronto. Making the extra pass. Getting into the paint. Just totally different

Amazingly the Celtics have learned the Heat are just not that big. They are living in the lane and it's incredible to see. They're finally not playing like sissy pretty boys. Grant Willams is in there and doesn't look lost. I would have put in Kanter.

I think the Celts should use some Grant Williams fouls to be more physical if they're going to have him out there. There should be no layups

The Heat seem more tired to me and I see that as a very good sign

I was getting ready to say it was a good effort all game, but now they're being careless once again and switched off here giving the Heat a chance when the game should be over with a minute left.

Smart is just a plain stupid player. Taking that ahot with 15 seconds left in the clock was ridiculous. He better have made those two feee throws.

He also made a risky alley-oop pass to Jaylen with a minute left that was picked off. He just doesn't have good judgement in the clutch. He was clutch on free throws though.
Overall, although no lead ever seems safe, good wire to wire effort.
Jaylen was huge, Kemba looks to have shaken his slump, and Gordon was far better, and played far more, than I would have thought. Tatum has reached the point where 25/14/8 doesn't even seem special.
In our last 10 games, the "home" team has lost every time.
