Heat 111, Celtics 101: C's fail to overcome Miami's record 3-point shooting in Game 2 loss [series tied, 1-1]
Hoping to obtain a 2-0 series lead, the Celtics ran into the Heat's franchise playoff record of 23 made 3-pointers and couldn't overcome it. Boston's offense struggled to find its rhythm with two of their key starters struggling to score, and it proved to be one of the main ingredients in their 111-101 Game 2 defeat Wednesday night at TD Garden.
