Miami Heat Defeat Boston Celtics 124-103, Extend Winning Streak to Six

The Miami Heat secured a convincing 124-103 victory over the Boston Celtics, ending Boston's nine-game winning streak and extending Miami's winning streak to six games. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 25 points and nine assists, while Bam Adebayo added 21 points, contributing to a strong team performance where seven players scored in double figures. Despite a late surge from the Celtics, who cut a 22-point deficit to just three points, the Heat responded decisively, showcasing their resilience and depth even in the absence of key players. The Celtics, who remain in second place in the Eastern Conference, were led by Jaylen Brown's 24 points but struggled with their shooting efficiency.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra celebrated his 785th career win, moving him up the all-time coaching rankings.
