Miami had no signs of life — and Boston ran ahead.

he Boston Celtics, once again, added to their flooding bag of notable victories, this time picking apart the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

Meeting old friend Terry Rozier, who the Heat acquired on Monday in a trade with the Charlotte Hornets, the Celtics wasted no time reminding Miami of who stands atop the Eastern Conference and why. Boston blew the doors off the Heat, 143-110, extending Miami’s losing streak to five games — which hasn’t happened in the last three years. The 33-point scoring differential was also good enough for the biggest Celtics win, ever, over the Heat.

“We just learn from last year, right? Getting so close to not getting over that hump, and just give a lot of credit to the guys,” Tatum said, as seen on ESPN’s postgame coverage after scoring a game-high 26 points. “We got Jrue Holiday and (Kristaps Porzingis). They make the world a difference, and we’re just really intentional about what we’re trying to do on the court more often than not, and it’s showing.”

Tatum added: “No matter if you win by 30 (points) or two, it just counts as one win. So, we still got a long way to go.”

Well ahead with no signs of a comeback bid in the works for Miami, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla unloaded the bench and pulled out all the starters with 6:37 left in the fourth quarter. Boston had no issue riding to the finish line, improving its NBA-best record to 35-10 while also notching a league-best 15th road victory.

“It’s fun to be a part of a rivalry,” Holiday said postgame, per NBC Sports Boston video. “It’s fun to be part of something bigger than yourself. To be on this team has been amazing.”
