The Boston Celtics East finals series with the Miami Heat has become one of the more memorable playoff series in recent years with the team poised to make a historic comeback after falling down 0-3 in the series. Initially, the Heat were dominant, leaving the Celtics struggling on both ends.
However, the Celtics have made significant improvements, with star wings Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown stepping up and the entire rotation finding their rhythm. One key factor has been the strategic use of Robert Williams III, who has helped Boston considerably. The Celtics have also forced Miami’s interior defensive threat, Bam Adebayo, to leave the paint, resulting in easier layups and dunks.
Additionally, Boston has exploited Miami’s use of help defense and double teams, capitalizing on opportunities provided by their role players.
