As a team, the Celtics shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 45 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in control after building a 13-point lead, but they allowed the Heat to hang around and it cost them as they scored just six points in the overtime period. Tatum has been on fire for the Celtics, but he had a night to forget as he shot just five of 18 from the field while committing five turnovers.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in great shape as they’ve won seven of their last nine games and they will be looking to build on their four-game win streak after beating the Raptors in a 114-105 win on Friday. Kyrie Irving led the way with 27 points and five assists, Kevin Durant tallied 17 points with nine rebounds and seven assists, Joe Harris scored 17 points on six of eight shooting while Nic Claxton chipped in with 15 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. As a team, the Nets shot 53 percent from the field and 11 of 32 from the 3-point line as they dominated right from the start, outscoring the Raptors by 41-17 in the first quarter to allow them to cruised the rest of the way unchallenged.
