Surviving in the Heat: Celtics vs Heat in Playoff Battle 7
In Game 2, the Heat emerged victorious against the Celtics with a score of 111-101. This marked the seventh playoff battle between the two teams in the last 14 years, making it one of the most frequent playoff matchups since 2010. With Game 3 shifting to Miami, the Heat’s rotation is facing some challenges.
Delon Wright will be out for Game 3 due to personal reasons, adding to the absence of players like Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, and Josh Richardson. Miami will need to find ways to compensate for the missing players while maintaining their competitive edge against the Celtics. Meanwhile, Luke Kornet’s return to the Celtics lineup could provide additional options for managing minutes and strategies in the upcoming games.
As both teams prepare for Game 3, the focus is on adjustments, tactical decisions, and finding ways to outmaneuver their opponents in what promises to be an exciting continuation of this playoff series. Before the game, Celtics assistant coach Joe Mazzulla highlighted the benefits of having a player like Kornet back in the team, emphasizing his ability to play bigger and contribute to rebounding and defensive strategies.
