What initially looked like a Heat romp on Saturday turned into a sweat for Miami with its best player sidelined.
But when the game was done, the Heat emerged with a hard-fought 109-103 win over the Boston Celtics to secure a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals. They did so late without Jimmy Butler, who missed the entire second half with knee inflammation. After totaling 16 points in Games 1 and 2, Bam Adebayo powered the Heat to victory with his best game of the series.
