Sept. 15 (UPI) -- All-Star big man Bam Adebayo stuffed Jayson Tatum at the rim with seconds left in overtime to help the Miami Heat top the Boston Celtics 117-114 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday night.
Jimmy Butler's 3-point play put the Heat up for good with 12 seconds left. Adebayo protected that lead with a remarkable block on Tatum, denying the forward's dunk attempt in the closing seconds to halt the Celtics' seven-game winning streak in Game 1s.
