It still took until deep in the second quarter before the Celtics through steady double-teams at Jimmy Butler, but by then they were in a deep hole (and not scoring enough to climb out of it). They drove into double- and triple-teams but did not find the open man and settled for a lot of contested shots.Īs bad as the offense was, the Celtics’ drop-off in defense was harder to grasp.īoston made the Finals a year ago on the back of an elite defense, and they were third in the NBA in defense during this regular season (even if, in part due to injuries, this year’s defense did not feel as intimidating as the past couple of year’s defense had been). Jayson Tatum had 14 points on 6-of-18 shooting, Jaylen Brown 12 points and 6-of-17 shooting, and they combined for four assists and six turnovers. So were the performances of their All-NBA stars.

It’s hard to sum up how ugly the Celtics’ night was, but if one clip could do so it is this: Duncan Robinson - who took 85.6% of his shots this season with zero or one dribble, who is not considered an NBA shot creator- cooking Second Team All-Defense Derrick White off the bounce to set up the Bam Adebayo alley-oop. 1) Miami is impressive, but this is an epic Boston collapse

After watching this game it’s tough to picture the series returning to Boston. Sunday night, Miami ripped the heart out of the Boston Celtics with a dominating 128-102 win to take a 3-0 series lead.
