The Boston Garden faithful got what they paid for, as the Celtics avoided defeat inthe waning moments of the five-minute extra period when the Heat s Dwyane Wade missed an open three-pointer. With LeBron James fouling out with just under two minutes remaining in regulation his first time doing so as a member of the Heat it was up toWade, as the only member of their Big Three still on the floor,to carry the load in overtime. However, Miami, who had charged backfrom as many as 18 points down in the first half, managed only twoin the extra session. It was the first overtime playoff loss inHeat history against six victories.
With the Heat s Chris Bosh once again out for Miami (he s now listed as day-to-day), theHeat rotated in a round robin of defenders to try and handleBoston's Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in the post. Joel Anthony started at center for Miami and grabbed three rebounds. Udonis Haslem continued his strong playoff contributions by adding aplayoff-high 17 rebounds and 12 points. Miami also got some clutchreserve help from former Cleveland State University star Norris Cole who, in relief of guard Mario Chalmers who had gotten in foul trouble by the third period tossed infive points and pulled down two rebounds in 13 minutes of playingtime. Overall, the Heat bench doubled up the Celtics reservists inpoints scored, 22-11.
The Celtics managed to get all five players in double-figures, ledby Pierce s 23 points. He got some good support from Garnett, whohad a strong all-around game with 17 points, 14 rebounds and fiveblocked shots; Ray Allen , who added 16 points, including four three-pointers, and Rajon Rondo , who had 15 points and an equal number of assists. Brandon Bass , in rounding out the home starting five, continued his reliablescoring with 11 points complementing that with seven reboundsand three assists. And off the bench for Boston, Keyon Dooling hit for ten points, including three important buckets from beyondthe arc.
Speaking about the Celtics performance in the firsthalf, Boston coach Doc Rivers was effusive: Our execution in the first half was flawless itwas as good as maybe we ve had.
