With or without LeBron James and Chris Bosh, the Boston Celtics continue their mastery of the Miami Heat. The defending Eastern Conference champions thumped the celebrated South Beach outfit anew on the road, 112-107, with Ray Allen scorching the nets for 35 points. It is the second straight win by the men in green over the Heat this season. Boston nipped Miami, 88-80, during the season opener. The Celtics led by as much as 20 points before the Heat made a late rally that cut down the deficit to only three points. But Boston held on to post their seventh win in nine games in the new season. It was also the 22nd time in Allen’s career that he hit seven trifectas in a game, according to Yahoo! Sports. The Heat now has lost back-to-back games following their heartbreaking overtime home defeat to the Utah Jazz and their fourth over-all in nine games so far.
“Allen hit seven 3-pointers for the 22nd time in his regular-season career, and there was nothing sneaky about the way he got open, either. It was as simple as Allen running to the open spot, and waiting to see if the Celtics could get the ball to him.
“When they did, he made the Heat pay. His last 3 might have been the biggest — it put Boston up 102-89 midway through the fourth quarter, and the Celtics held on from there in a frantic finish.”
