The Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics in Game 2, due to an incredible 26-9 run in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter.
This however directly dates back to Grant Williams deciding to trash talk Jimmy Butler. It was basically pre-written… anyone knows that’s a bad idea to poke the bear, especially if said bear is Jimmy Butler, who thrives off these type of situations.
This is also the reason why NBA Twitter destroyed Williams post-game.
