Spolestra is earning his paycheck and accolades during this playoff run. Him and the Heat played the Celtics half-court defense like a fiddle in that third quarter. Remarkable how much the Heat offense flipped the proverbial switch not only because Herro has been out, but also because their offense was basura in the regular season, especially towards the tail end of the season.

Scary thing for the Celts is that Duncan Robinson didn't play heavy minutes from what I remember; I'm assuming Spoelstra wants to play a smaller lineup to run Timelord out the game. Will be interesting to see if Duncan Robinson gets some tick. He murdered the Knicks in stretches of the Semi-Conference Finals. I saw in Game 1 that the Celts were doubling Butler when the got paint penetration to get Heat perimeter players open three pointers; Mazzulla will have to nip that in the bud going forward.
