A look at some of the adjustments the Heat might make to give themselves a better chance of keeping pace with the Celtics than in their 114-94 loss in Game 1.
The Heat enter Wednesday's clash at TD Garden in danger of going down 2-0. That may be too steep of a hole to climb out of, especially with Jimmy Butler haymaker, which they dominated for 36 minutes before easing off the gas in the final frame of the series opener, expect a more desperate version of the defending Eastern Conference champions to dial up the physicality.
Both sides know the visitors won't win Game 2 if Adebayo's mid-range jump shot is their most reliable source of scoring, especially if he's not doing more to elevate his teammates. Both sides know that Bam scoring on contested twos can't be the Heat's best source of offense. They went 12/37 on threes. Adebayo freeing up teammates to find their rhythm from beyond the arc is vital for Miami.
This was an absolute dime from Tatum. Horford's cut occupies Bam, Duncan Robinson's in the paint, and Tatum's skip pass to Hauser is on the money. The latter takes care of the rest.to not getting bored making the right play throughout the current campaign. In Game 1, he seemed to relish carving up a Miami defense that was complicit in its demise.
