The Boston Celtics, led by Jayson Tatum’s 37 points and a record-breaking 29 three-pointers, dominated the New York Knicks in the season opener, securing a resounding 132-109 victory. This marks the Celtics’ largest opening night win in franchise history and ties the NBA record for most three-pointers in a single game.
In a stunning Game 2 performance, Tyler Herro led the Miami Heat to a 111-101 victory over the Boston Celtics, tying the first-round series 1-1. Herro’s six three-pointers, 24 points, and 14 assists propelled the Heat, who also set a franchise record with 23 three-pointers made. Despite the absence of Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier, Miami’s strong three-point shooting, including a clutch shot from Caleb Martin over Jaylen Brown, proved too much for the Celtics. Bam Adebayo also contributed significantly to the Heat’s success, benefiting from Herro’s impressive playmaking. Now, the Celtics face the challenge of regaining home-court advantage against a Heat team that has a history of upsetting higher-seeded opponents.
