The Boston Celtics obviously have the Miami Heat's number, to say the least. They're now 3-0 against the highly touted Heat this season and with Sunday's win in Boston, leaped over Miami into the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
The two teams play for the fourth and final time on April 10th in Miami. The Heat plan to put an end to this three game skid versus the Celtics, but it won't be easy.
"They are the defending Eastern Conference champions. You have to go through them, and they ain't going to make it easy," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We understand that this isn't going to be an easy ride for us, and that's where we're at our best."
Combining to score 62 of Miami's 82 points, the James-Wade-Bosh trio still couldn't overcome Boston's Rajon Rondo and his triple-double of 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Five other Celtics joined him scoring in double figures, including Kevin Garnett with 19 to lead Boston.
Through three head-to-head games thus far, Boston has proved to all of us that it takes a team effort to pull off what Miami wants to do with three players.
Better luck on April 10th, Miami! The playoffs won't be pretty for you if you get swept in a season series to Boston...
