The feeling is that the Heat have come this far. They have achieved the best record in the Eastern Conference (53-29) and thanks to that they have had better crosses in the playoffs. That is why they fight and fight in the regular season, to have an advantage that the Florida team has taken advantage of to reach the Finals. But the Celtics are simply better. In a tie full of asterisks due to physical problems and injuries, Ime Udoka has managed to make his team prevail against a Heat that have sunk in the last quarter, framed in a game that, it seemed, the Celtics have won when they wanted. They have accelerated, they have become strong in the zone and in the triple alike, they have tightened in defense and have left without answers to an Erik Spoelstra who has not been able to count on the injured Tyler Herrohas given more minutes than usual to Duncan Robinson and has not had the best version of a Kyle Lowry objectively far from his best level: 0 points with 0 of 6 in field goals, 0 of 5 in triples, 3 turnovers and 5 personal fouls.
