Rundown on NBA Action: Celtics Outdo Heat
The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 106–77 Tuesday night, claiming a 2–0 lead in their playoff series. This win came as a suprise, courtesy of Glen Davis. The Celtic’s sentimental leader Kevin Garnett, also known as the “Big Ticket” was serving a one-game suspension.
This influenced the betting odds. At LinesMaker, the Boston Celtics have 14–1 odds of winning the NBA championship, whereas the Miami Heat is now off the betting action, following their crushing defeat at the hands of Celtics.
Davis filled in for injury-riddled Garnett in all 14 playoff games last year as well. “The ‘Ticket Stub’ came,” said Glen. “Whenever they need the ‘Ticket Stub,’ he’ll be there.”
Davis scored 23 points and eight rebounds, along with Ray Allen scoring a whopping 25 points in the third quarter. Dwyane Wade guided the “Heat” with 29 points.
The Heat managed a 29–25 lead over the Celtics, on a plunge by Jermaine O’Neal. However, Boston managed a 44–8 surge over the subsequent 16½ minutes to cover 69–37, topped by Allen’s 5 three-pointers in the period, with 5:38 left in the third quarter. Game 3 is slated for Friday night in Miami.
Other NBA play saw: Atlanta 96 Milwaukee 86; Phoenix 119 Portland 90; and Los Angeles Lakers 95 Oklahoma City 92.
The Los Angeles Lakers are among the front runners with 5–2 odds of winning the championship, along with Cleveland Cavaliers at 5–4. The fate of the next game may move the Celtics up or down in the betting action.
