After an extended period of rest, the Celtics met the Heat with the confidence of evening up the Eastern Conference Finals. To their dismay, Boston’s hopes of advancing to the Finals quickly evaporated with Bam’s brilliant jam, Andre’s active hands, and Tyler Herro’s hero-ball putting the Celtics in peril of being eliminated next game as they attempt to mount a daunting 3-1 series comeback.
Enjoy the best highlights from Celtics vs. Heat East Conference Finals Game 4:
Despite checking in as the youngest player in the East Conference Finals, Tyler Herro is no stranger to courageous contributions with his consistent scoring off the bench. Game 4 was no exception as he repeatedly bailed out the Heat with stupendous shot-making in the fourth quarter to collect the most playoff points scored by a Heat rookie ever (37).

Some of the viewers watching Game 4 jumped the gun if they changed the channel prior to the final minute. The Celtics kept their heads up to cut the Heat’s seemingly game-sealing nine-point lead with less than a minute remaining to just a two-point game at one juncture, nearly bringing a full comeback into fruition after a pair of clutch shots by the Celtics.
This is the pick-and-roll defense I genuinely don't understand. Jimmy Butler isn't Stephen Curry. You don't have to blitz to prevent the 3. Bam is one of the best passing bigs on the planet. Andre Iguodala is in the dunker's spot. This was either a guaranteed dunk or wide open 3. pic.twitter.com/2AjNtDKpsv

The biggest story of the first half was Boston’s superstar Jayson Tatum getting shutout in the first half on 0-10 shooting from the field. However, the 22-year-old sensation provided an example of what Herro could soon become, with his own valiant effort as he dropped a whopping 28 points in the second half.

The onomatopoeia of Bam Adebayo’s name is ever so appropriate given he’s known as the man who slams the ball through the cylinder with authority on a regular basis such as on this alley-oop feed where he climbs the ladder to leave a lasting sound effect.

On pace to participate in his sixth straight NBA Finals, Andre Iguodala has played with a killer instinct defensively his whole career and a witty interception in Game 4 allowed him to deliver room service to his running mate Jimmy Buckets who skied for the easy dunk.

Typically known for his high-energy defense or explosive scoring outbursts, Jaylen Brown corralled Kemba’s out-of-control kick-out, then threaded the needle with a savvy bounce pass to locate Daniel Theis in the dunker position to grab a momentary fourth-quarter lead.

An all-important Game 4 took place Wednesday and it was tightly contested which is par for the course of this series. A goose egg first half in field goals made by Jayson Tatum doomed his Shamrocks to fall behind by intermission, but the remainder of the game transpired into the Tatum-Herro show with both turning molten-hot with the Heat eventually walking away with the win in the end and owners of a commanding 3-1 lead.
