Heat's Rozier Out for Game 2 Against Celtics

Celtics Hold 2-1 Series Lead

The Boston Celtics have taken a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat, thanks in part to the absence of Heat guard Terry Rozier, who is out for Game 2 due to an injury.

Celtics Looking for 3-1 Advantage

With Rozier out, the Celtics have a chance to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series with a victory in Game 2. The Celtics entered halftime of Game 4 against the Heat with a 17-point lead, but Boston's short-term results were marred by the injury concerns surrounding star Jayson Tatum.

The No. 2-seeded Celtics were facing a 3-1 hole in the series before rattling off two straight wins to claw back into contention. A win in Game 2 would put the Celtics in a strong position to advance to the NBA Finals.
