Game 1 of 2010-2011 Season
After all the hype about Miami's Big 3, the original Boston Celtics Big 3 prevailed in the Miami Heats Season opener, with an 80-88 Heat loss. The leading scorer for the Celtics was Rajon Rondo with 20 points. In this game, the Heats big three combined for a total of 52 points, 31 contributed by LeBron James. The bench contributed with the accumulation of only 23 points. This lack of support is what I believed caused the loss of the game. The big 3 player very well together for their first, regular season game.
So what if we have one loss, I guess were gonna have to end our season 81-1?
