Aaaaaaaaaand It's Gone

      The streak is over. The Celtics exciting run comes to an end as they lose 104-98 to the Miami Heat. The C's almost pulled it off again, trailing 79-63 heading into the fourth, even tying it up in the fourth. Dion Waiters had a fantastic last couple minutes, hitting two big threes to get some insurance points after the C's fought back into the game.
