Miami Heat and Boston Celtics will meet again tony at8:30 pm ET for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals of the 2020 NBA playoffs.This wil be a win-or-go-home situation for the Boston Celtics after being dominated by the Heat in the first four games of the series.

Standout rookie Tyler Herro torched the Boston Celtics off the bench with 37 points to lead his team to a 112-109 win in Game 5. Now, Brad Stevens’ boys will have their backs against the wall after falling to a 3-1 deficit.

However, it seems like the Miami Heat could be forced to play without Bam Adebayo for the remainder of the season as the big man hurt his wrist trying to grab a rebound. Hopefully for Boston, they’ll channel their inner Denver Nuggets and come back from that 3-1 deficit.
