The Boston Celtics took care of business at home in Game 4 to tie the series against the Miami Heat at 2-2. It was a dominant performance from the Beantown team, and sure enough, it left the whole NBA world in awe.
Utah Jazz stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert couldn't help but heap praise on the Celtics' offense and defense. Boston got off to a strong start while holding off Miami to one of the worst in NBA history, allowing Jimmy Butler and co. to score just one point in the first eight minutes of play.
Mitchell couldn't believe the score of the game, which saw the Celtics lead by as much as 32 points. Meanwhile, Gobert shared how tough Boston's defense is to be able to stop the Miami offense.
This score is crazy!

This Boston defense is tough

Toronto Raptors big man Precious Achiuwa, meanwhile, gave a ton of credit to Al Horford who stepped up defensively in the absence of Marcus Smart. Horford only had five points, but he did finish with 13 rebounds, three assists and four blocks to anchor the Celtics' defense.
Al Horford looking like the DPOY right now. First team at least 🤧

18 points on 7-for-36 shooting, including 1-for-10 from 3, and 3-for-5 from the free throw line.

The Celtics struggled offensively, but they did their best on the other end to make sure the Heat won't have any chance to come back at all. If they are able to maintain such momentum heading to Game 5, there is no doubt Miami will be in deep trouble.
