The Boston Celtics managed to stave off elimination in Game 4 against the Miami Heat with a 116-99 victory, bringing the series to 1-3. The Celtics seemed to finally find their footing as the Heat struggled to maintain their momentum and close out the series.

Jayson Tatum played a crucial role in the Celtics' victory, recording an impressive 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. Celtics fans noted the difference in Tatum's confidence when the team was rolling, as his swagger level reached new heights during the game. Tatum's performance was aided by solid contributions from Al Horford, Marcus Smart, Derrick White, and Jaylen Brown, as the Celtics shot 50% from the field and 42% from beyond the arc.

On the other side, the Miami Heat appeared to lack the necessary intensity to win the game. Jimmy Butler had a disappointingly low-scoring night, while the rest of the team struggled to find their rhythm. Nonetheless, some fans noted that if any 3-0 series comeback could happen, this Celtics-Heat matchup would be the most likely scenario.

The heated matchup also saw some notable defensive plays, such as Grant Williams' denial of Jimmy Butler with a timely block, as well as the Celtics forcing back-to-back turnovers by Tatum in just 22 seconds. As the series heads into Game 5, the Celtics have a chance to seek redemption, while the Heat must refocus their efforts to close out the series.

Social media sentiment is buzzing with speculation on the Celtics' chances of coming back in the series and reactions to key moments from the game. The general consensus is that Game 4 might have awakened the Celtics, while the Heat was reminded they are an 8th seed team. Will the Celtics continue their comeback, or will the Heat regain their momentum? All eyes will be on the next gripping installment in this unpredictable series.
