Celtics crush Heat in Game 2 to even Eastern Finals

Boston absolutely scorched Miami over the final 17 minutes of the first half, going on a 57-27 run while Williams never left the floor en route to a 127-102 victory in front of a shell-shocked, sellout crowd at FTX Arena. The win evened the series at a game apiece. “He just [has come] a long way from his first year,” Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, who led the Celtics with 27 points, said of Williams. “He’s worked on his game, and he’s developed into somebody that we believe and trust in to catch it at half court. “He sees an opening, takes it to the hole, makes the right play. That’s what he did.”
