The Heat take a bite out of Boston and get closer to the NBA Finals

At 20, Tyler Herro fined the Celtics.

-

The Miami Heat is only one victory away from the NBA Finals: the Heat, carried by its formidable rookie Tyler Herro, author of 37 points, beat Boston (112-109) on Wednesday to lead 3-1 in their Eastern conference final.

The Floridians, whose zone defense still posed big problems in the attack of the Celtics, could also count on the contributions of the pivot Bam Adebayo (20 pts, 12 rebounds, 4 assists) and captain Jimmy Butler (21 pts, 8 rebounds, 3 passes).

Tatum was way too alone

But the hero of the Heat was named Tyler and he is only twenty years old.

As talented as he was uninhibited, he recited an exceptional score, returning 14 of his 21 shots (including 5/10 at three points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) and illuminating the game at almost every offensive, with impressive simplicity and class at this stage of the play-offs, especially for a first.

He was quite simply impregnable for Boston, which also paid too many losses of balls (19 against 8 in front) and could not completely recover its delay of 12 points at the beginning of the third quarter.

And this despite the titanic second period of Jayson Tatum.

The young star, who missed his first seven shots in the first two quarters, then managed 28 points (9 rebounds), offering in spurts a sacred pass with Herro.

But Wednesday, he was the big star on the floor.
