Celtics vs Heat Game 5 Recap

With last night’s win the Boston Celtics are one win away from the NBA finals, Boston cruised to a 93-80 win in Miami to take a 3-2 series lead. Jaylen Brown finished with a game high 25 points on a good shooting percentage {52.6 FG, 55.5% 3PT}, Brown also had a monster dunk in the fourth over Bam Adebayo to put the game away. Jayson Tatum struggled once again with 22 points on poor shooting but almost had a triple double with 12 boards and 9 assists, even though Tatum put up the 22 he still hasn’t been very efficient this series, Al Horford also contributed with 16, 7 and 5. 

The Heat need to pull together to win these next two games, Jimmy Butler hasn’t looked the same since the knee injury he suffered in game 3, Tyler Herro has now missed back to back games with a quad injury, the Heat just don’t have the firepower to win any of these games on offense, if you go back and look at this series the two games Miami has won they’ve won off of Boston’s mistakes and turnovers, and that’s what the Heat have been all year. This Miami team needs to be shaken up this offseason, potentially trying to get Donovan Mitchell who would be a great piece to pair with Jimmy Butler and take the offensive load off Jimmy.
