Celtics 1Q -3
Celtics FG -9
Celtics are more talented on the floor, but off the floor there is a clear advantage for the heat. Mazzulla can't make an in game adjustment to save his life. That being said, with 2 full days to prepare, the entire Celtics coaching staff should be ready for the 1st quarter. The Celtics players should also be motivated...both from losing and from jimmy Butler poking the bear. Celtics average margin in the first quarter of away games is 4.3 and with the added motivation and time to prepare I think they hit above their average. Feels like a blowout game to me. Celtics do tend to take their foot off the gas with large leads, but this line is -9 vs -14 in the previous games
