In the absence of their star Jimmy Butler, who had a knee injury, Tyler Herro became the key player for Miami, who only had to concede a loss to the Denver Nuggets in the finals last year with 24 points, five rebounds and 14 assists . Herro scored six times from the three-point line alone. For the leader of the main round, Boston, Jaylen Brown scored 33 points and Jayson Tatum scored 28 points.
“We lost bad in the first game and everybody responded tonight and that’s all you can ask from a group of guys,” Herro said. “We feel like we have a great team. We’re not completely healthy, but we have people who want to play and make a difference out here.”
In the second game of the evening, the Oklahoma City Thunder fulfilled its role as favorite and defeated the New Orleans Pelicans with 124:92. The best team in the Western Conference last regular season had its leading scorer in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 33 points and made the series 2-0. New Orleans and Miami only secured their final playoff berths following a playoff duel.
