Boston Celtics still alive after winning Game 5; but the Miami Heat are still ahead of the series, 3-2

 

Boston Celtics are still hopeful after winning to Miami Heat in Game 5 of the ongoing Eastern Conference finals.

Jayson Tatum bounced back from his game to lead Celtics, 121-108. 

Celtics managed to not get home early in the NBA bubble when Tatum led the offense with 31 points (8-of-22) with three three-pointers, 10 rebounds and six assists.

Jaylen Brown also shines in his big game scoring 28 points and six Boston players have double figures.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens praised his players for showing the team's true game.

With the warm hands of Celtics they were able to dominate the third quarter to post 41-25.

For Miami, All-Star big man Bam Adebayo blamed himself for their defeat that the finals would have been within reach.

This is despite Adebayo having almost triple-double performance with 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.

When asked by Heat All-Star Jimmy Butler (17-pts), he said Adebayo should not blame himself.

They all say they have an answer even if their strategies hang.

Former Miami hero in Game 4 Tyler Herro showed just 14 points.

Veteran Goran Dragic scored a total of 23 points and Duncan Robinson had 20 points.

Miami's goal is to reach the NBA finals, which last happened in 2014.

Game 5 will be held on Monday at 9:00 am.
