The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics play Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Finals series this Thursday, September 17th at 7pm Eastern Time with the Celtics finding themselves in an entirely novel situation in the 2020 NBA postseason…
Trailing.
Having lost Game 1 117 – 114 in overtime after big man Bam Adebayo somehow managed to block All-NBA swingman Jayson Tatum’s would-be game-winning dunk at the end of regulation, Boston now has to play the series from behind.
While there’s still a solid path to advancement, that path became more fraught with the loss, and it’ll take a solid 48 from every player playing for the Celtics to get a win against this surgically-precise Heat team.
