In the first round, not a single commentator in the United States gave Miami a chance against Milwaukee, but the Heat stunned everyone, eliminated the championship favorite and skipped to the second round. There, too, many saw them as underdogs against New York, which was superior in the regular season, and again to Jimmy Butler and his players. This incredible journey was supposed to end in the Eastern Conference Finals, but tonight (Friday through Saturday) Erik Spoelstra's players once again proved that they shouldn't, simply shouldn't be eulogized, went 0-2 and took a huge step toward the NBA Finals.
Butler was once again above everyone else, with typical manic time exhilaration that set up a huge 105:111 in Boston. Now the series moves to Miami - the third game will be on Sunday.
