The Miami Heat came out victorious in their Eastern Conference Finals series opener against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, thanks to Bam Adebayo’s game-saving block over Jayson Tatum.
The Heat was holding on to a two-point lead with under seven ticks remaining in overtime when the Celtics’ swingman took it strong to the cup. After getting past Jimmy Butler’s defense, Tatum went airborne and tried to stuff it hard tot ie the game. But waiting for him at the apex was Bam Adebayo who had other plans.
The 6-foot-9 All-Defensive Second Team member cleanly erased Tatum’s poster attempt and even collected the loose ball in the process.

Adebayo was fouled soon after and drained one of his two charity stripe trips to give his team a three-point lead. Tatum missed the potential game-tying 3-pointer in the ensuing possession, as the Heat took home the 117-114 win to draw first blood in their best-of-seven affair.
The Heat All-Star finished with all-around numbers of 18 points, six rebounds, nine assists, one steal, and two blocks in 43 minutes of action. Tatum, on the other hand, dropped a game-high 30 markers along with 14 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks.
