The Celtics had a clear 17-point lead at the halftime but blew up later in two quarters on Thursday. This wasn’t the first time Celtics blew the cruising lead. The Heat came out victorious from 14 points behind in Game 1.
The Celtics’ Jaylen Brown mentioned that several emotions were flying due to the loss of Game 2, which he believed that the team should have won. ESPN reported that the Celtics’ coach Brad Stevens had to sit down with Boston’s elite players to sort things out.
