The Celtics dropped Game 2 against a Heat team without Jimmy Butler on their home court and NBA fans are reacting.
Without Butler, the Miami rallied to a 111-101 win against Boston.
Tyler Herro led the way with 24 points and 14 assists, while Bam Adebayo put up 21 points and 10 rebounds and Caleb Martin chipped in with 21 points on 5-of-6 from downtown.
Miami also set a franchise record by sinking 21 threes – the most in a game ever.
The Celtics lost some easy games at the back end of the season and the NBA community was divided.
Many said the franchise were just gearing up for the postseason.
Others said Boston will do what they always do in the playoffs and lose easy games. Well today, the C’s did just that.
The NBA world has quite a bit to say about the loss.

The Heat just did a Celtics on the Celtics in Boston, outshot 'em from three 23-12, beat 'em by 10. No Jimmy. No Terry. No problem for Heat Culture. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Celtics would get swept by Denver. Maybe take one game due to a hot shooting night. But they have no chance if it’s the Nuggets in the NBA Finals. Zero.
