MIA 58 BOS 51 HT

 Alrighty, now that we have some time let's look at the box score.

"Heat" shot 46.5% (23/5%).
"Celts", 40.4%, 37.5%.
"Heat" had five TO's, Beans five.
"Heat" 26 'bounds, Beans 22.
Duncan Robinson led all scores with 17 on 6/9 (3/6)
Jimmy 14, 4/6, 8 rebbies, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block.
Bam near invisible 6 pts, 3 rebounds, 3 asterisks, 1 block.

Beans:
Tatum 10, Brown 10, Kanter 8.

Morals of the first half: Boston doesn't think they can win this game. The "Heat" know they will win. This is the third game Boston has come out flat. The only game the started strong was the one they won. Boston is not tough enough mentally. 

Spoelstra outcoached Brad Stevens. Boston inexplicably got torched again by a guy, Duncan, who has flamethrowers in both hands, on both feet, and one coming out of his mouth. In other words, Duncan did to them in the first half of game five what Tyler did all of game four. Another unsuspecting sniper, huh Beans? 

Sub-moral of half: Last game and so far this one good things happen to Boston when they put Enes Kanter on the floor.
