The spirited Heat defeated Boston in overtime

The Heat have struggled this year, largely because they have been without the services of Jimmy Butler for several games. But the team’s star returned against the Celtics, and that was enough for Miami to win 116-120 in overtime in Boston. The “Celts” sent the match into overtime with a crazy three-pointer from Jaylen Brown, but couldn’t hold on.

Bam Adebayo with 28 points and Tyler Hero with 26 points were the first scorers for the winners (big baskets in overtime), but Jimmy Butler was the one who changed the facts with 25 points and 15 rebounds and Kyle Lowry added 20 points.

For the Celtics, who have lost only twice in their last 16 games, Brown had 37 points and 14 rebounds and Marcus Smart and Grant Williams each had 18 points while Jayson Tatum was held on 5/18 shooting and 12 to 14 points Rebound.
