In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals series between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat, star forward Jimmy Butler produced an exceptional outing, leading his team to an improbable win. With 35 points, 7 assists, and 6 steals in the victory, Butler showcased his incomparable skills and ability to step up in critical moments. The Celtics, on the other hand, labored to contain Butler and failed to make crucial adjustments during the match.
The lack of timeouts called by head coach Joe Mazzulla and missed chances to get star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum involved in the game in the fourth quarter raised questions about Mazzulla’s coaching decisions.
Despite the Celtics’ talent advantage, the Heat’s unflappable nature and cohesive gameplay abetted their dominance in the second half.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the hosts of the Volume “Jenkins and Jonez” podcast had to say about Boston’s Game 1 collapse.
