The Celtics controlled the glass with 48 rebounds and distributed 34 assists, establishing early dominance with a 53-point first quarter that set the tone for the entire contest. Miami's Bam Adebayo countered with 29 points and Donovan Mitchell contributed 21, but the Heat's 46.3 percent shooting and 24 made threes couldn't overcome Boston's superior ball movement and defensive intensity, which held Miami to a 126.3 offensive rating. The final score of 147 points exceeded the Vegas total of 229.5, reflecting Boston's offensive explosion. The Celtics' commanding performance—particularly their third-quarter 32-point output—underscores their current form as a top-tier championship contender heading into the final stretch.
