A 46-point third-quarter for the Heat was the difference as the Celtics dropped another Game 1 at TD Garden, 123-116. We share our takeaways from the defeat.

It cost them a win at home and they'll hope it doesn't come back to haunt them later on in the series.Don't underestimate Miami. We heard that message repeatedly heading into this series, and the Heat showed us why with a gritty Game 1 performance.
It all started with Jimmy Butler. The six-time All-Star was the best player on the floor in Game 1, tallying a game-high 35 points to go with seven assists and five rebounds. The stat that jumps off the page is his six steals. He joins Allen Iverson and Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to have multiple playoff games with 35+ points, 5+ rebounds, 5+ assists, and 5+ stealsJimmy Butler leads the #8 seed
