Jayson Tatum scored 27 points, Marcus Smart (12 assists along with nine rebounds) and Jaylen Brown each posted 24 and the Boston Celtics dominated the first half to roll past the Miami Heat 127-102 on Thursday night in the Eastern Conference finals. The series is tied at 1-1. Game 3 is set for Saturday in Boston.
After a blowout victory over the Jimmy Butler-led Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics star guard Marcus Smart, who missed the series opener due to a mid-foot sprain, talked about his return in Game 2: “It was very frustrating because I couldn’t get out there and help my teammates … for me today, it was just come out and be aggressive as you can.”
