After beating the Bulls at Kaseya Center on Friday, the Heat now has an intriguing date with the Celtics in the NBA playoffs. Game 1 of this best-of-seven series will see Miami Heat travel to TD Garden to face the No. 1 seed in the East. During their win against the Bulls, Miami Heat’s offense somewhat struggled, although their defense turned up to salvage their season. Unfortunately, their team leader, Jimmy Butler, succumbed to a knee injury that would keep him out for weeks. Boston was the epitome of the juggernaut of grit during the regular season, so it will take the Heat something special to get past them in the postseason tournament. Their 64-18 record is the best in the NBA, and they are first and third in offensive and defensive efficiency, respectively. They’ll seek to avenge the painful 4-3 loss against Miami in last season’s Conference finals.
