Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis led the Boston Celtics (41-12) to a hard-fought 110-106 win against the Miami Heat (28-25) on Sunday.
Tatum finished the game with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists, falling just shy of a triple-double, while Porzingis contributed 25 points to secure the victory for the Celtics.
Jaylen Bron contributed 20 points and nine rebounds, while Jrue Holiday added 15 points and six assists.
Miami, facing adversity with Jimmy Butler being out, showcased their resilience with standout performances from Tyler Herro, who erupted for 22 of his 24 points in the second half, and Bam Adebayo, who contributed 22 points of his own.
However, the Heat were dealt further blows with injuries to Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson, both forced to exit the game prematurely.
