The Boston Celtics seemingly had a meltdown in Game 2 against the Miami Heat. They blew a double-digit lead and allowed the Heat to win a second consecutive playoff game. In a series where four losses spell doom, that is a bad disadvantage to have.
However, the biggest story from Game 2 came in the form of reports of the Celtics locker room getting into a very loud argument, seemingly led by Marcus Smart.
This has garnered a divided opinion, with some criticizing Smart for being over-aggressive, while others defended his passion. Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green supported the argument on Inside The NBA.
