Jimmy Butler (41 points) and a solid defense (especially in the second half) allowed the Heat to win (118-107) a first win at the expense of the Boston in the Eastern Conference final, in the NBA playoffs.
It was a two-sided match, with Miami mistreated in the first period by Boston and Jayson Tatum, but then able to overturn everything in the third quarter (39-14), rediscovering its usual combativeness.
Butler has scored 27 points in the last 24 minutes (plus 9 rebounds, 5 assists).
Tatum, explosive in the first two quarters with 21 points, the best total of his career in the playoffs, scored just two free throws in the third.
He finished at 29 (plus 8 rebounds and 6 assists).
