The first step – out of the four required – to qualify for the semifinals of the Eastern Region was taken on Sunday night by Boston Celtics!
The “Celts” were the absolute rulers in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs series against their opponent Miami Heatprevailing much more easily than the indicates final 110-94 at the packed TD Garden!
With the “weapon” of the three-pointer and the high accuracy rates behind from 7.25 m. (22/49 sq., 45%), Joe Mazzula’s side faced virtually no difficulty from last year’s finalists, even reaching at +34 (96-62) at the beginning of the fourth period, before in the finale the visitors only managed to reduce the extent of the score!
Leading for the winners was jason tatum, with the Celtics superstar finishing the match with triple-double having 23 points, 10 rebounds and as many assists! Valuable help was given by White (20p.) and Porzingis (18p.), as well as o Jaylen Brown (17 p., 8 p.).
For the Heat, who played without Jimmy Butler – who will miss the whole season – was saved only Antebayo (24p., 6r.), with Hiroo being hopelessly off target with 11 points and 4/13 from the field.
The twelve minutes: 26-21, 60-45, 91-59, 114-94.
