Wednesday NBA Playoff Recap

Another team has been eliminated in the first round. Without Jimmy Butler, the Heat ran out of steam, unable to conquer the #1 seed Boston Celtics. Luka and the Mavericks take back home-court with a big win on the road.

MAIN MATCHUP
HEAT @ BOSTON
FINAL SCORE MIA 84 BOS 118

The Boston Celtics finished the Miami Heat with a 30-point win at home to win the series 4-1. Boston stormed away in the 1st and sealed the game in the 3rd. Boston awaits the winner of Orlando and Cleveland. The Celtics will likely be without Kristaps Porzingis for the 2nd round, so they’ll be hoping the Cavs-Magic series goes 7 games.

SECONDARY MATCHUP
MAVERICKS @ CLIPPERS
FINAL SCORE DAL 123 LAC 93

The Dallas Mavericks take a 3-2 lead over the Clippers with a strong 2nd half performance. Luka dropped 35 but the Mavericks shot 18% better from the field, which ended up being the difference.
