Jimmy Butler leads Heat to 123-116 win over Celtics in Game 1
Jaylen Brown also got hurt again and we'll see if his hand injury effects his shooting ballhandling in the coming games. The 8th seeded Miami Heat are very well coached and Jimmy Butler has that "dog in him" that everyone talks about when looking for a player to lead you deep in the playoffs.
Why you gotta make life so hard on us Celtics?

Joe Mazzulla said the Celtics lost their offensive focus and game plan discipline in the third quarter, and that was what allowed Miami to get going the way they did.

Would love if we could borrow Spoelstra to come up with some coaching advice to smother Butler like Miami did Tatum and to get only single defensive coverage on Tatum like Butler gets.

46 points in the third quarter -- a Heat playoff record for any quarter.

43 was the previous mark, vs. Charlotte in 2016.
