In a show of brilliance the Celtics come back from the brink of a loss in Miami to win the game. Paul Pierce had 19 points. Kevin Garnett had 26 with 11 rebounds. Early in the game the Heat were off to a hot start. Chris Bosh came into the game in the first quarter and made an amazing spinning layup by Garnett. This brought the heat to an 11 point lead. Lebron James and Dwayne Wade scored a combined 57 points but this was ultimately not enough for the Heat to win. Mickael Pietrus and Ray Allen both scored 13 for Boston. Pietrus made two key 3 pointers in the 4th quarter. Mickael made 2 of 4 threes. The Heat had been waiting for Chris Bosh to return from an abdominal strain, and he made an impact. Bosh had 9 points and 7 rebounds. Bosh was lively and did not look slow at all on the court. Mike Miller only scored 1 three for Miami in the 1st quarter. The Celtic's bench scored 19 points compared to the Heat's bench which score 16. Kevin Garnett was a force t be reckoned with this game "He's just amazing," Rivers said about Kevin Garnett. "Doesn't have to score. Obviously, we need his scoring. That's important, but he's our life. He really is. He just does so many things that don't have numbers to it. A lot of it is coming from his voice." With the amazing win in Miami, the Celtic's now go home to Boston where they can possibly clinch the series.
