The Heat's offense simply hasn't had enough to compete with the Celtics in this series. The Heat's offense was below average in the regular season, finishing with the NBA's 21st-ranked offensive rating.
Now without top offensive weapons Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier because of injuries, the Heat's offense has been even worse in the first round of the playoffs.
"Offensively, we struggled again," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
With that low-scoring period, the Heat entered halftime with just 36 points. It marked Miami's second-lowest scoring half of the season, behind only a 31-point first half in a Jan. 15 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
