Game Preview

The Boston Celtics dropped Game 1 to the Miami Heat in last season’s Eastern Conference finals, and it didn’t deter them from winning the series.

Boston is in the same hole in the rematch and looks to bounce back and even the best-of-seven set when it hosts the eighth-seeded Heat in Game 2 on Friday night.

The second-seeded Celtics outplayed Miami in the first half, but the Heat seized control with a dominating 46-25 edge in the third quarter en route to posting a 123-116 victory on Wednesday.
