“We talked about wanting to throw the first punch, and I think we did that pretty much for the whole series.” We set the tone for their postseason run with a dominant first-round win over the Heat, which included three wins by 20+ points. www.nba.com/celtics/news/sidebar-post-20240501-celtics-put-out-the-heat-in-dominant-series-clincher
