1. This Heat Team is Special
It’s no easy feat to mount a double-figure comeback in the second half of a game to pull off a win. That’s especially the case when participating in a Conference Finals matchup against a very formidable opponent led by an effective head coach.
The Heat managed to do precisely that and it shows how special of a group they truly are. Miami got the job done with a real blend of hard-nosed defense as a unit along with precise perimeter sharpshooting and effective ability to not only get to the basket but to finish consistently, as well.
It’s tough to go up against this Heat roster when considering they are led by a very talented head coach in Erik Speolstra. Having the judgement to turn to a zone defense in the second half to give the Celtics’ offense fits is a perfect display of this.
When the playoffs are all said and done, the Heat may not end up being this year’s NBA champions. Whether they do or not, they have a real chance to compete for it and will be a real threat to bring in another star to take them to an even greater level.
