The Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics on Friday night 111-105 at TD Garden to take a 2-0 series lead.

The Celtics lost again and are now down 2-0 in the series. A position they probably did not envisage going into Game 3 in Miami.

Calling the situation “tough” and “a challenge,” Celtics star man Jayson Tatum said he still believes his team can turn things around. “We’re not dead or anything, we have a great opportunity.

"I still have the utmost confidence,” he said. 

When asked if he believes his team could win four out of five games in this series, Tatum smiled and quietly said, “Yeah.”

Tatum was outstanding putting up 34 points, 13 rebounds, and 8 assists but the gritty Miami Heat stuck in and claimed victory. 

The series now shifts to Miami for Game 3.
