As They Have All Season, Miami Heat Refuse To Lose Confidence

Before the Eastern Conference finals began, the Miami Heat were the underdog.

They were still picked to lose after winning the first three games against the Boston Celtics.

And now when they are ahead 3-2 entering Game 6 at home? Yep, still the underdog.

Despite a two-game losing streak, the Heat are feeling the same way they did when the series opened.

They think they are just one victory from punching another ticket to the NBA Finals.

"Why would we lose confidence," Heat center Bam Adebayo said. "When we started this journey nobody believed in us. Everybody thought we were going to be out in the first round. Everybody thought we were going to be out in the second round. And now, we're here one game away. For us, we've always had confidence and that's not going away."
