Throughout game, Celtics have been slightly better. Because of outside pressure, Heat were very upset and they got into a quandary by hitting 3-pointers.

Among them in regular season, Celtics are team with best three-point defense in league, so this campaign fully reflects that.

Hiro and Crowder, who played well in last game, didn't match at all on outside. The two seemed to be enchanted and couldn't make a single throw.

The decline of archers also caused Heath to become passive everywhere, cutting Adebayor's strength in half.

The reason Celtics were able to win today is because of twin stars Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The cornerstones of two Green Army teams showed great strength

Jaylen Brown made 12 of 23 shots, including 4 of 10 three-pointers, scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal

It was combination of two players who scored 59+18+8 that helped Green Army win game

The Celtics, on edge of precipice, can't lose anymore, so it's worth looking into whether Stevens' team can use this G5 win to herald a rebound and save series.

The Heat rookie Hero scored a crazy 37 points, and in this game he scored 14 points,

Whether he can keep his form and whether Adebayor, Butler and others can lead team to a one-time victory and reach finals is also worth seeing.
