The Celtics lost 115-111 on Sunday to the Cavs in a game where Donovan Mitchell dominated in the final quarter. The Cavaliers star scored a game-high 35 points and scored 20 of those points in the fourth. Jayson Tatum led Boston with 33 the Cavaliers were still able to come back from a 12-point deficit. The loss ended a seven-game winning streak for the Celtics. Both games between the two best teams in the East have been decided by a combined seven points with both teams winning a game in this evenly matched season-series. Hopefully we see these two square off in the playoffs come next May.
Miami will also be playing on back-to-back nights and it is also coming off a close loss on Sunday losing to the Toronto Raptors 119-116. It was the second game of a home-and-home series in which the Heat won at home in the previous game. R.J. Barrett was the biggest factor in why Miami couldn’t beat Toronto in consecutive games. Barrett scored 37 points and Scottie Barnes scored 23 points and secured 10 rebounds. Tyler Herro scored 31 to lead the Heat and Jimmy Butler scored 17. Miami just narrowly lost out on winning three in a row which is something it still hasn’t accomplished this season.
