The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 119–114 on January 15 at Kaseya Center, with Alfie Simons leading the way on 39 points and Jaylen Brown adding 27 in a fourth-quarter surge that proved decisive. Boston shot 45.1 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers while grabbing 51 rebounds, outpacing Miami's 40. The Celtics' defense held the Heat to a 122.7 offensive rating, while Boston's own 122.7 offensive rating powered the comeback; the game finished well below the 235.5 Vegas total. Miami's Norvel Powell scored 26 points and Bam Adebayo 22, but the Heat managed only 15 three-pointers on 44.8 percent shooting and committed 10 turnovers to Boston's 13. Boston's dominance in the fourth quarter—outscoring Miami 36–21 in that frame—overcame a relatively even first half and demonstrated the Celtics' clutch execution down the stretch. This road victory strengthens Boston's positioning in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
