Mon Apr 07 03:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Heat Snap Celtics’ Winning Streak, Extend Their Own to Six

**BOSTON, MA** – The Miami Heat ended the Boston Celtics’ nine-game winning streak Tuesday night, securing a dominant 124-103 victory and extending their own winning streak to a season-high six games. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 25 points and nine assists, while Bam Adebayo added 21 points. Seven Miami players reached double figures, showcasing the team’s depth even while missing key players Andrew Wiggins (hamstring), Duncan Robinson (back), and Kevin Love (personal reasons).

Jaylen Brown paced the Celtics with 24 points and nine rebounds, but the team struggled to match the Heat’s offensive firepower. Jayson Tatum and Derrick White each contributed 16 points. Boston managed to cut a 22-point deficit to just four points in the fourth quarter, but a decisive 22-9 run by Miami sealed the victory.

The Celtics, also missing Jrue Holiday (shoulder), Kristaps Porzingis (rest), and Al Horford (toe sprain), were unable to maintain their momentum following a recent 6-0 road trip. Coach Joe Mazzulla utilized the opportunity to experiment with different lineups.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra achieved his 785th regular-season win, surpassing Gene Shue to claim 17th place on the NBA’s all-time wins list.

The Heat will face the Grizzlies at home on Thursday, while the Celtics host the Suns on Friday.
