Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics earned an easy 114-94 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday.
They now lead their best-of-seven first-round playoff series 1-0.
Without Jimmy Butler (injured) and Udonis Haslem (retired) to defend them, the Heat fell victim to some absolutely merciless bullying from the Celtics in Game 1.
The video largely speaks for itself:

Big picture, the playoffs are long and there is still plenty of time to right the ship if you’re the Heat .
If anyone can figure out a way to upset these Celtics, it is definitely Erik Spoelstra.
That said, it isn’t looking good for Miami right now.
Will the Heat be able to make this even a semblance of a competitive series? Time will tell.
