Like almost all games in this playoff, this encounter was also decided unilaterally, but the first half was completely close.

Miami managed to limit the Boston stars and went down to the break with a 37:42 advantage.

But asked the third quarter Boston came out like the muzzle of a cannon.

Horford, Brown, Taitum and Williams led a quick 0: 8 run and turned the bowl over.

Miami stayed in the game thanks to a three by Duncan Robinson right in the middle of the quarter, but Boston finished that quarter with a 0:10 run and Brown's basket set up a 58:69 lead, from which Miami could not come back, certainly not on an evening where Strauss and Laurie missed 12 shots off. Keshet and Jimmy Butler, who was wonderful in that playoff until his injury in Game 3, hit just 4 shots out of 18 and finished with 13 points.

Looks very bad since the injury.

Jaylen Brown led Boston with 25 points while Tatum settled for 22, but also added 12 rebounds and 9 assists.

Al Horford continued his excellent playoffs and contributed 16 to the Celtics.

On the other hand, the only one who appeared offensively was Am Adbaio who contributed 18 and 10 rebounds to a hit, which was accurate at only 32 percent from the field.

Miami scored a total of 6 threes from 45 attempts.

Boston, which only ranked 11th in the East in January, will be able to complete its formidable comeback on Friday night and in front of its fanatical crowd in the home court, it is hard to believe it will miss the opportunity to qualify for the grand final.
