Result:
WIN

There is no more questioning of Miami's quest for a championship as the Heat held off the favored Celtics in Game 1 and pulled out a 117-114 overtime victory. Bam Adebayo had a huge block on Jayson Tatum's shot after Jimmy Butler's three-point play with 12 seconds left. Goren Dragic scored 29 points, Jae Crowder added 22, and Butler scored 20 points for the Heat, which has won nine of its last 10 games, including 4-1 against Milwaukee in the previous round. Boston has lost four of its last six, and Miami has covered the number seven of the last 10 meetings. Also, Boston is just 1-5 ATS its last six conference final games. The Celtics were still recovering from an emotional seven-game series against Toronto and now have to try and bounce back from Tuesday's heartbreaker. Miami is getting a couple of points again, and I like them to win straight up. Take the Heat on the moneyline.
