Celtics' Historic Cold Snap Stuns Miami Heat
The Boston Celtics, a team that revamped their roster with Nikola Vucevic but notably without Anfernee Simons, faced a formidable challenge from the Miami Heat. The Heat, alone among Eastern Conference teams, stood pat at the trade deadline, a decision that appeared to pay dividends on Friday night.
What unfolded was a historic struggle for Boston: a dismal 1-for-20 from beyond the arc in the first half. This marked the fourth-worst 3-point shooting performance in NBA history for a single half, allowing the Heat to take a commanding 59-38 lead. Andrew Wiggins led Miami with 17 points (7-10 FG), joined by Norman Powell (15 points) and Bam Adebayo (12 points). For Boston, only Jaylen Brown reached double digits with 17 points, leaving a significant uphill battle for the second half.
