Boston started off their quest for their 17th NBA championship in style after beating rivals Miami 114-94. They fended off a late Miami surge to start the postseason tournament with a vital win. Boston was on fire in this encounter, with six players scoring double figures. Jayson Tatum and Derrick White led the way for the Celtics, bagging 23 and 20 points, respectively. Offseason acquisition Kristaps Porzingis also produced a dazzling performance after drilling four three-pointers and scoring 18 points. Miami seemed to struggle against the red-hot Celtics without the services of Jimmy Butler. Rumors say he could be out for the entire series with an MCL injury. In his absence, Bam Adebayo stepped up and scored 24 points, while rookie Jaime Jaquez chipped in with 16. They’ll need a plan to stop Celtics from cruising to an early lead in Game 2 or this tie could be over by Game 4 or 5. Boston is the 15-point favorite in the second round of this matchup.
