Adebayo cannot contain red hot Tatum as Celtics bounce back to tie the series 2-2
The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 102- 82 in Game four of the ongoing Eastern Conference Finals played in the early hours of Tuesday, May 24, 2022.
The Heat shocked the Celtics to take Game 3 at the TD Garden last weekend.
The Boston Celtics would respond with their star player Jayson Tatum having a bounce back game after he scored just 10 points in Game 3.
The Boston Celtics came into game four with a sense of desperation knowing a victory gives the Miami Heat a 3-1 lead in the series.
Ime's Udoka's men would bounce back as Jayson Tatum contributed 31 points, right rebounds and five assists in what turned out to be a blow out victory.
Players of Nigerian descent Bam Adebayo and Victor Oladipo were key to the Heat's dominance in their Game 3 victory but could not replicate it in game 4.
Oladipo came off the bench to contribute 23 points and six assists but the game was not within reach as the Celtics put their feet on the pedal early in the game to record a comfortable victory.
The Miami Heat will now hope to defend home court when they welcome the Celtics to the FTX Arena in the early hours of Thursday, May 26, 2022.
