Will the Miami Heat lose another game this season?
With a nail-biting 105-103 victory against a surprisingly feisty Boston Celtics team that played without Kevin Garnett, the Miami Heat extended their ridiculous winning streak to 23 games – the second best streak ever in NBA history.
The team overcame a career night from Jeff Green, who had a whopping 43 points on 14-of-21 shooting – including 5-of-7 from the 3-point line and 10-of-13 from the stripe – along with seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks. Some of his highlights:
LeBron James was just as fantastic, as usual, with 37 points on 16-of-29 shooting, seven rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, two blocks and one incredible dunk over a helpless Jason Terry, who suffered a Brandon Knight-esque fate as you can see below:
Terry had the support of at least one player in Harrison Barnes, who gave the guard credit for the effort:
Oh, and by the way, James hit what proved to be the game-winning basket as well with 10.5 seconds remaining in the game:
I’m pretty sure Parker will be playing. All signs to point to him coming back earlier than the 4 week period that was originally stated.
True, but if he does come back, it’ll likely be around that time and he’ll be rusty.
Talk is he could be back this week, which would give him a few games under his belt. Even rusty Parker will provide for a fun game than no Parker. The Spurs offense without him has not been fun to watch.
