The Boston Celtics made a lot of great adjustments following their Game 1 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Final, but it wasn't quite enough. The Heat came away with a hard-fought, 115-111 overtime win in Game 2 on Wednesday night, taking a 2-0 series lead heading back to Boston and demoralizing the Celtics' resolve.
Now, the Celtics must respond in Friday's Game 3 in order to save their season. What kind of changes can they make in their game-plan to get it done? SB Nation's Ben Golliver discussed that, as well as Game 2, in this video.
As Golliver notes in the video, the Heat "know they took a very, very good punch from Boston" to survive Game 2. It'd be easy for them to think that was the best punch the Celtics can provide in this series. We'll see if that ends up being the case.
