Powered by a franchise playoff record 23 3-pointers, the Miami Heat tied their first-round Eastern Conference series with the Boston Celtics with a 111-101 victory Wednesday night.
Following a tight first half, the Heat in the third quarter outscored the Celtics 27-18 to retake the lead. It was an advantage they would not surrender to even the series at 1-1.
The New Orleans Pelicans weren't so fortunate. After barely losing in a Game 1 thriller, they got steamrolled by the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 124-92 loss to fall behind 2-0.
