11. 2012/13 Regular Season Game - 18th March 2013 - Boston Celtics (A)
Miami Heat 105, Boston Celtics 103
Win 23 of the Miami Heat’s 27 game win streak. By this stage
the streak was dominating national headlines, and the Boston Celtics
represented one of the biggest challenges to the streak. Many have looked back
on Miami’s streak as one of the greatest achievements of their run, perhaps representing the pinnacle
of their power, and maybe the last consistent appearance of vintage Wade.
The Celtics and the Boston Garden provided the perfect environment for the
streak to be truly tested, and the intensity in the arena exceeded regular playoff
levels. The game in which the Heat would lose their streak at Chicago was
equally intense, and NBA columnist Bill Simmons would call it the best regular
season game ever. The intensity regular season games for the Heat had was the reason this team was so memorable - they
rarely lacked interesting. For Heat fans, this is the streak game that sticks in the
memory banks, and it wasn’t just the amazing team performance on the night. It
also featured perhaps the best play of the four years...
The reasons:
- A 17 point comeback for the heat with the streak on the line
- An incredible lebron performance: 37 + 12 to combat Jeff Green’s 43
- This clutch jumper from james:. The origin of his trademark celebration
The streak would bring a whole host of great Miami moments.
In the very next game the heat would make a 27 point comeback in Cleveland to
keep it alive.
- Oh yeah, and this
I consider this the best play of the 4 years. It came in an
incredibly tense game, with the heat trailing, against one of the players
despised most by heat fans. Great commentary, great bench reaction. And it was one
of the most vicious posterisations of all time. So nasty was the dunk, Terry
was texted a picture of himself in a coffin by his daughters after the game
It was also the first win by Miami in Boston since Allen had
joined from the celtics
