Jimmy Butler is the most important player for the Miami Heat, but due to an injury, he was not part of the team during the first two games against the Boston Celtics.
A highly significant victory for the Miami Heat on the road against the Boston Celtics. They managed to pull off a major surprise and break against the favored home team, returning home with a win for their fans.
The hero of the game was the outstanding Tyler Herro, who scored 24 points along with 14 rebounds. He revealed after the match that he received a message from Jimmy Butler before the start of this series.
“Before the series Jimmy Butler texted me to take the team and lead these guys. Just make every right play. It’s not all about scoring, in the playoffs you have to make the right play. Everybody came to play. We lost bad in Game 1 and everybody responded. That’s all you can ask for from a group of guys”, Herro said.
“It was a very good response. And then we also made some shots. It always looks better when you make shots. You have to take ‘em, based on how they were playing us the first two games. I did not want to get annihilated in that department like we did the game before“, said Erik Spoelstra, who saw Boston hit 22 3-pointers to Miami’s 12 in the opener.
