Miami Heat @ Boston Celtics
Final: Miami 82 - Boston 85
Well for all you Heat fans out there; you might want to slow down on booking that parade in South Beach. The Heat were 0-2 against the Celtics coming in to yesterdays game and came out with a 3 point loss. The Heat played an okay game minus the third quarter when they gave up 35 points. Lebron James had a great game going 22 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds. Dwayne Wade still can't figure out a way to score against Boston as he only had 16 points on 6-17 shooting, plus 6 turnovers. The Heat had problems controlling the ball all game and in the third it finally caught up to them. Chris Bosh was also terrific for the Heat at one point 6-6 from the field, finishing 8-11 24 points, and 10 rebounds. This was a game the Heat had to win to prove they were a true contender out of the East; they held Paul Pierce to 1 point on 0-10 shooting and still couldn't pull out a win. At times it just looked like the Celtics wanted more, Rajon Rondo, the short feisty point guard of the Celtics, single covering Lebron James, the strong muscular star from the Heat, and doing a great job of frustrating him down the court. Player of the Game: Rajon Rondo, not only did he 'D' up one of the deadliest players in the league he added in 11 points, 10 boards, and 10 assists for an easy triple double. Second biggest player on the Celtics was probably Glen 'Big Baby' Davis who besides a laughable dunk attempt (seen below) scored 16 points and really dominated on defense all game.

Overall I think this game showed the Celtics are still the team to beat in the East and the Heat better figure out a way to beat them because the road to the finals might go through Miami but they will have to beat the Celtics in Miami to get there.
