The Boston Celtics blew an 18-point first-half lead before pulling out a 93-91 overtime win against the Miami Heat that ties the National Basketball Association’s Eastern Conference finals at two games each.
Paul Pierce scored 23 points and Rajon Rondo added 15 points and 15 assists for the Celtics, who won their second straight game at Boston’s TD Garden last night after consecutive losses in Miami. They held on for the win as Dwyane Wade’s 3-point shot for Miami bounced off the rim as time expired.
