The NBA Playoffs are at the pointy end and both series are turning out to be unusual, this time it was the Miami Heat who broke all kinds of records for the wrong reason
The Boston Celtics levelled the series at 2-2, winning 102-82 at home.
Back in game three Miami scored 39 points in the first quarter, then in game four they scored 11 points.
This is a record, no team has ever scored so few points in the first quarter of a playoff game.
Victor Oladipo was the Heat’s best with 23 points to go with six assists and four rebounds.
Oladipo became the first bench player to outscore his own entire starting lineup (18) since these numbers began being tracked in 1970.
And not to overwhelm you with the stats, but here’s another.
The Heat missed their first 14 field goals attempts. It was the longest drought without a field goal to start any playoff game over the last 25 years.
