Celtics Dominate Heat in Game 4, Force NBA Finals Return
Subtle Balance in Eastern Conference Finals Shifts Again
Boston's Defense Stifles Miami, Earns Decisive Victory
In a pivotal Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics overcame a sluggish start to defeat the Miami Heat 102-82, tying the series at 2-2. The Celtics' defense proved formidable, limiting the Heat to just 35.2% shooting from the field and forcing 15 turnovers.
Jayson Tatum led the scoring for Boston with 27 points, followed by 20 from Jaylen Brown. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined for 33 points for the Heat, but their efforts were not enough to overcome the Celtics' dominance in the paint. Boston shot 7-for-21 from inside the paint, while Miami struggled, going 1-for-12 from floater range.
With this victory, the Celtics have regained the momentum in the series and are now one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals for the second time in three seasons. Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals will take place on Friday.
