The Celtics responded in style after a disappointing performance in Game 3 as they thrashed the Heat in Game 4’s 102-82 victory. They started Game 4 with a 29-11 first quarter and the Heat couldn’t recover. Tatum had a tough time in Game 3 but bounced back with another 30 point outing and 8 boards. White had one of his best games for the Celtics in place of the injured Marcus Smart. Pritchard added 14 pts and 3 threes off the bench and continues to be an important piece in the Boston rotation. They also got Robert Williams back from injury and he played 19 mins. So he should be able to back up in Game 5. Smart is questionable at this stage and should be fine to suit up after missing Game 4.<\/span><\/p>\n Miami will look to get back on track in Game 5 on their home court. Their starting lineup produced just 18 pts in Game 4 and will need a quick turnaround. Butler played 27 minutes in his return from a knee injury but couldn’t get going as he shot just 3 of 16. But it was a similar story for the rest of Miami’s starters. Adebayo was held in check after a huge Game 3 as he finished with just 9 pts. Lowry only played 21 minutes in Game 4 and was 2 of 9 with just 3 pts. However, the Heat’s bench made the scoreline respectable. Oladipo was impressive with 23 pts and hit 4 threes. Duncan Robinson got some time in the rotation and also hit 4 threes. But the Heat will need their starting lineup to pick up the slack in Game 5. They surely can’t play much worse and should be boosted by home-court advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n This series has been all about teams bouncing back from poor performances and we can’t see the Heat starting 5 playing that badly on their home court. So we do like the chances of the Over. The Over has saluted in both games during this series that have been played in Miami. It’s also 5-2 when the Celtics head to Miami. Meanwhile, the Celtics are 10-4 against the Over in their last 14 road games.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Heat have won 10 of their last 11 at home. Boston are 3-1 in their last 4 games in Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n
