Can the Heat stave off elimination on Wednesday in Boston or will the heavily favored Celtics move on to the Eastern Conference semifinals?
After a shocking home defeat to the Heat in Game 2, the Celtics took care of business on the road with back-to-back wins to take a 3-1 lead in theHeat guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. didn’t even travel with the team to Boston, as he joins Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier on the inactive list.
As a result, he implored his players to be much more aggressive offensively from the perimeter to have a better chance at keeping pace with the Celtics. Replicating that type of performance would always be difficult in Game 3, especially with Celtics likely to make adjustments of their own .Perhaps the thought was that Miami could steal a game early on to avoid facing a massive deficit until it gets some injured players back in the lineup.
In Games 3 and 4, Boston instead opted for a hard closeout on the perimeter, limiting Miami to 18-of-61 shooting. In addition to an increased defensive effort on the perimeter, Boston is forcing Miami into turnovers. In the last two games, Miami’s 27 giveaways led to 44 points for the Celtics.
