Miami Heat Form
Miami hold a 1-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals after their ninth win in their last 13 games.
The Heat needed two cracks at the Play-In Tournament to make it to the postseason, but they got the job done and have been on a tear since then.
They sent #1 Milwaukee packing in sensational fashion in the first round, winning twice on the road in a 4-1 series success against the Bucks.
Miami then started the Eastern Conference semi-finals series with a 108-101 victory in New York, laying the foundations for another success.
The Heat booked their place in the conference finals in Game 6, sealing a 4-2 series win with a 96-92 victory at home.
They then followed up that with a 123-116 victory in Boston in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston find themselves trailing after suffering a home defeat in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Celtics entered the postseason in good form, but found Atlanta stubborn opposition in the first round as they had to scrap for a 4-2 series win.
The Eastern Conference semi-finals series with Philadelphia was even more closely-contested, with all seven games needed to determine a winner.
Boston made a rough start as they lost 119-115, only to bounce back and take the next two games, 121-87 and 114-102.
The Celtics lost the next two meetings though, leaving them on the bubble, but they responded with 95-86 and 112-88 wins over the 76ers to advance.
They failed to make it three-in-a-row on Wednesday though, losing 123-116 at home to Miami in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
