While the series is 2-2, each game has been completely dominated by either the Heat or the Celtics. During Game 1 and Game 3, Miami had leads of 20 and 26 points. During Game 2 and Game 4, Boston ran up leads of 24 and 32. The latest Heat news straight to your inbox! Join the Heavy on Heat newsletter here! Join Heavy on Heat! Heat guard Victor Oladipo, the team’s only bright spot on offense against the Celtics in Game 4, who came off the bench to score 23 points, along with four rebounds and six assists, got brutally honest about the team’s uneven performances thus far, saying it was inexplicable.
“I don’t know how to explain it,” Oladipo said during the postgame conference on Monday night. “It’s wild, right?” I’m really not sure how to explain it. Just got to keep improving and keep playing hard. Figure out ways to win.”
Victor Oladipo says he’s most proud of his patience -coming back from 2 quad surgeries, being traded to the Heat & now playing a prominent role in the Eastern Conference Finals. Super introspective and humble. It’s hard not to be a fan of his. #HEATCulture #NBAPlayoffs #NBA pic.twitter.com/puUR66DWYW

Oladipo’s performance in Game 4 was all the more impressive considering he appeared in just eight regular-season games.
