Kyle Laurie came back from a four-game absence and Miami led 37:62 with three minutes left, but the Celtics locked the first half with 10 unanswered points and then the visitors announced Butler would not return.
Although Smart missed a few minutes after a collision with Laurie, Jaylen Brown led a 0:12 run in which he scored 10 points, and so Boston turned a 93:80 lag to just minus a point early in the fourth quarter.
However, the same Brown lost seven of his team's 24 balls in the game (a negative record in the current playoffs), the star of the evening if Adbayo scored an important basket on the buzzer and then blocked Al Horford, and the Heat retained the advantage they held throughout the evening - en route to the important victory.
Adbaio finished a tremendous performance with 31 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, four steals and a block, PJ Tucker who was in doubt for a game scoring 17 with seven rebounds and three steals, Max Strauss contributed 16, Laurie 11 with six assists.
Brown stood out big for Boston with 40 points, nine rebounds and zero fouls on his 11 shots for two, Horford added a double-double of 20 and 14 rebounds, Smart provided 16 and seven assists.
Taitum, who went down to the locker room due to a shoulder injury with five minutes left, scored 10 points on a weak evening.
