Boston does not stop In this case, to lose. The Celtics were nothing more than a simple toy, shaken until the horn took pity on the green parish signaling the end of the agony. Ridiculous for Joe Mazzulla’s men: embarrassment against the eighth classified in the East (128-102). The team was once again greatly outclassed by Miami technically, physically and tactically. The Heat were three speeds above a Celtics that generated practically nothing and offered all the gaps in the world behind. If there is not a miracle of historical dimensions, the 17-time champions will be eliminated (3-0). Anyway. Green pride is lost and the Celtics are missing. And a ring in 37 years. There it is.
Jimmy Butler pitching against Al Horford.
And in Miami, the lack of assets can be seen as a problem, but this can be a virtue if you are fully aware of how to maximize that lack. In the detail lies the key to understanding this Miami Heat team. And in the transition from theory to praxis, no one like Erik Spoelstra.
General statistics of the match:
Gabe Vincentwith 29 points (11-14 in TC, 6-9 in T3) led Miami from the perimeter. Duncan Robinsonwith 22 points (7-11 in TC, 4-7 in T3) and four assists appeared in the second quarter to blow up the game. Caleb Martincon 18, Jimmy Butler (16) y Bam Adebayo (13) accompanied the offensive explosion of the Heat. The three top scorers of the match, ‘undrafted’.
Not Boston, Jayson Tatum he signed 14 points (6-18 in TC, 1-7 in T3) and 10 rebounds. Jaylen Brown, with 12 points (6-17 in TC, 0-7 in T3) once again signed a terrifying night from the triple. Boston’s series on the perimeter in the Conference Finals: 10-35, 10-29 and in the last one, 11-42. Complete mistake.
As data, Miami has been punishing rival losses with 20.5 points/game. For a team in the Conference Finals, nothing like it since the Bulls of 96′ (20.7).
Miami proving to be the best team
Very important figure Al Horford in attack. His ability to open the floor from center is key for the Jays. (1-8 in T3 in the series). She started punishing from the perimeter, allowing Jaylen Brown to generate from short-middle range against Gabe Vincent, taking advantage of physical superiority. However, very forced attacks, without generating advantages for Jayson Tatum and missing from the triple (2-7 in T3). In Miami, the usual: fluid ball circulation, taking advantage of the long assists of the Celtics y finding the freed men (4-7 in T3).
Duncan Robinson began the second quarter attacking Derrick White (very slow passing blocks), generating advantages for his teammates. To the Horford suffering in the ‘drop’ and the Heat established the maximum difference of the game (+13). keys Gabe Vincent y Caleb Martin in the shot A team with all the letters: they share the ball, distribute efforts, protect themselves behind and trust their conditions and teammates. Total disconnection in Boston.
Jimmy Butler penetrating in front of Brown and Tatum.
The first part ended with Miami registering a remarkable 23-40 in TC. On the contrary, the Celtics signing a 20-48 in TC and 5-16 in T3. Little elaborated attacks and hasty shots (9-24 between Tatum and Brown). First time that the Celtics reached halftime these Playoffs with an offensive rating of less than one hundred (97.9). Erik Spoesltra dominating and his slate.
32-17 in the third quarter
Partial 13-5 in favor of Miami Heat in three minutes. Jimmy Butler playing the distributor role, Gabe Vincent scoring in transition, Adebayo beating Al Horford in paint…no adjustment of Mazzulla in defense to try to minimize local effervescence. Arrived at the equator of the room the result was 89-56. Boston, rolled. The Kaseya Center thing was the bloated cycle of trust. The one who has it all and the one who has lost even the name.
Jayson Tatum, neutralized by the Miami defense.
Bam Adebayo is believing what he is capable of. And she’s getting it going. It was the only thing missing. The explosion. It is his ultimate rise to stardom. It was not for the why, but the how. There are many ways to lose. Against Miami, a dull team was seen again, unable to give the chest when they come badly, without solutions when the parties become entrenched and the rival submits you, without success, without defensive solidity…the series is placed 3-0, after the brutal beating in which Tatum, Brown and Mazzulla are indicated.
