The Miami Heat came into their matchup on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics as clear underdogs, especially with their opponents winning their last 16 games. However, they shocked the basketball world by winning on the night, and abruptly halted the Celtics' winning streak.
The Heat's social media team also wanted to take part in the celebration following their improbable win, as they trolled Boston with a post they made on Twitter.
The tweet included a photo of WWE star Brock Lesnar with his arm raised after he won over the then-undefeated Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, ending his streak at 21 victories.

Backed up by solid performances from Goran Dragic, Dion Waiters, and Tyler Johnson, the Heat were able to weather the strong push the Celtics made in the fourth quarter, and held on to the lead for a 104-98 win. That pushed their record to 8-9 for the season, and more importantly, received a huge boost to their confidence, ahead of their four-game road trip starting on Friday.
With the loss, the Celtics saw their win-loss slate fall to 16-3 for the season. The good news for them though is they still have a five-game lead on top of the Eastern Conference, and are looking to bounce back as soon as Friday, when they host the Indiana Pacers inside the TD Garden.
