Miami Gets 23rd Consecutive Win in Boston

In 2008 the Boston Celtics snapped the Houston Rockets winning streak, would they be able play spoiler once again. Well the Celtics gave it all they had but it was not enough as they were unable to cool off the Miami Heat last night, 105-103. The Celtics pushed and hustled for the entire game, without Kevin Garnett, who was still out with a thigh strain and the flu. Jeff Green had an outstanding performance, scoring a career high, 43 points, helping his team led by as much as 17. Paul Pierce finished with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assist but missed a game winning 3-pointer, with a few seconds left. Although Boston led by double digits, Miami had Lebron James. Lebron scored 37 points and 12 assist including a clutch jumper with 10 seconds left in the game for the lead. For the remaining members of the “Big Three” Dwayne Wade had 16 points and 7 rebounds, followed by Chris Bosh with 13 points. Mario Chalmers had a big game, 21 points including big 3-pointers to cut into the Celtics lead. This is Miami's first win in Boston since they formed the "big 3" in 2010. 

Without their floor general Rajon Rondo, the Celtics have put together an unexpected 16-7 record and are currently in 7th place in the eastern conference. They definitely needed their veteran Kevin Garnett last night. He is expected to play tomorrow against the Hornets as they begin their 3 game road trip.   

The Miami Heat are on the verge of extending their streak even further. They haven't lost a game since February 1st and fly to Lebron's former home Cleveland to take on Cavaliers, without Kyrie Irving.Will the Heat surpass the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for most consecutive wins in NBA history? Stay tuned.
