76ers Rival Watch: Heat vs. Celtics Game 3 Odds & Prediction
In this story:
Are the Miami Heat the real deal? It’s finally becoming clear that Jimmy Butler and company have the answers during this year’s playoff run.
After the Heat barely cracked a spot in the postseason, losing out on the seventh seed and fighting for the eighth seed in the NBA Play-In Tournament, the Heat have looked like the hottest team in the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics’ playoff run has been a roller coaster. In the first round, Boston took longer than expected to knock out the seventh-seeded Atlanta Hawks. Then against the Philadelphia 76ers, their backs were against the wall going into Game 6 as they trailed 3-2.
Fortunately for the Celtics, they kept their season alive as they fired off two-straight impressive wins to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for a second-straight season to participate in a rematch with the Heat.
But so far, Boston is struggling to keep up. In Games 1 and 2, the Miami Heat went on the road and took care of business at TD Garden. With the series headed back to South Beach, the Celtics currently trail by two games and find themselves in a must-win situation on Sunday night.
