0:00It's April 2nd, I'm Cory with the story. This is Boston Celtics News today, driven by AI and Build for Fans. Boston Celtics just put up 53 points in the first quarter against the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, the highest scoring opening frame in, franchise history. That marked ties with the second best first quarter and NBA regular season play right behind Golden State's 55 at Portland last April. For Boston is their second most in any quarter ever, topping out only a 54 from 1970. Miami fans felt the sting. This was the most points the Heat have ever surrendered in a single quarter, beating their previous high of 50 back in, 1990. Jalen Brown dropped 20 by himself, his ninth 20 point quarter counting playoffs, while Sam Howzer went perfect with five three pointers for. Seventeen points, playing every minute. The Celts shot 20 of 28 from the field, and 11 of 15 from deep, jumping out to a 53-33 lead that set the resting, toned for a wild night in Miami.
