\n LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. \u2014 Jayson Tatum thought he had a dunk to tie the game.<\/p>\n

Bam Adebayo had other ideas \u2014 and in the biggest moment of his young NBA career, Miami\u2019s All-Star big man more than rose to the occasion.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Butler\u2019s three-point play with 12 seconds left put Miami ahead for good, Adebayo finished it off with a stunning rejection of Tatum at the rim on the ensuing Boston possession, and the Heat struck first in the Eastern Conference finals with a 117-114 win in Game 1 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have great competition like this, you just have to make plays that you can\u2019t even really explain,\u201d Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. \u201cAnd that was Bam tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Heat were down by 13 in the opening minutes, down by 14 in the final quarter and felt like a bad call took the lead from them in the final seconds. They found a way in overtime, improving to an NBA-best 9-1 so far in these playoffs.<\/p>\n

Goran Dragic scored 29 points, Jae Crowder scored 22, Butler had 20 and Adebayo had 18. But even after a night when Butler made a go-ahead 3-pointer late in regulation and had the go-ahead-for-good points again in overtime, he pointed at Adebayo for his favorite moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBam. That seals the game for us,\u201d Butler said. \u201cI love how he does any and everything that you ask him to do. I really do. You ask him to pass the ball, he does that. Score, he does that. Come up with a huge defensive stop, block, he does that. He\u2019s a huge part to our winning. I\u2019ve been saying it all year long and I\u2019ll repeat it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kemba Walker\u2019s basket with 23.2 seconds left in overtime put Boston up by one, before Butler muscled his way to the rim for a score while getting fouled by Tatum. The Celtics went to Tatum on the ensuing possession, only to watch him get denied by Adebayo.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe made a great play,\u201d Tatum said. \u201cThat\u2019s all it is. \u2026 Can\u2019t do anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatum scored 30 points for the Celtics, Marcus Smart had 26 points, Walker had 19 and Jaylen Brown added 17. The Celtics had been 156-1 since the shot-clock era started 65 years ago \u2014 winners of 92 straight \u2014 when leading by 12 or more points going into the fourth quarter of a playoff game.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re 156-2 now.<\/p>\n

\u201cGot to make better decisions,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n

Celtics coach Brad Stevens tipped his cap to Adebayo afterward.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a tremendous defender,\u201d Stevens said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have to figure out, again, better ways to attack, especially late. I thought we really moved it at times, then we did get stagnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s Tyler Herro was one assist shy of a trip<\/a>le-double \u2014 finishing with 12 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. He would have been the second-youngest player in the last 40 years to have a postseason triple-double, one day older than Magic Johnson was when he got his first.<\/p>\n

Johnson weighed in postgame on Twitter<\/a>, lauding Miami.<\/p>\n

\u201cBam Adebayo\u2019s block on Jayson Tatum\u2019s dunk attempt was the best defensive play I\u2019ve seen ever in the playoffs!!!!\u201d Johnson tweeted.<\/p>\n

Boston led 85-71 early in the fourth and kept the lead for almost all of the final period \u2014 until Butler connected on a 3-pointer from the right corner with 22 seconds left for a 106-105 Miami edge.<\/p>\n

The Celtics tied it before the clock even started again. Derrick Jones Jr. was called for an away-from-the-play foul while Miami defended the inbounds pass, a call where the Heat argued to no avail that he got shoved instead. Tatum went to the line, tied the game with the free throw, and Boston all of a sudden went from needing a score to being able to run out the clock.<\/p>\n

Tatum\u2019s 3-point try at the end of regulation was short, and to overtime they went.<\/p>\n

\u201cMade a hell of a block,\u201d Adebayo said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t dictate the series<\/a>, though. We\u2019re only up 1-0.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
