The Miami Heat will take the road for a must-win close-out Game 5 vs. the Boston Celtics.
And even though Erik Spoelstra’s team has already taken three games from the home team, most of the narrative and momentum has shifted in favor of the Celtics.
Even former NFL player Rob Gronkowski seems to believe that the Celtics will take care of business and force Game 6, although he did say that he thinks the Heat will get the job done once they’re back in South Beach.

To be fair, we should take these comments with a grain of salt, as the legendary tight end obviously roots for the home team after spending most of his career with the New England Patriots, and he didn’t even know if the game was going to be played in Boston and not in Miami.
The Heat will be down two key rotation pieces for this game, as Gabe Vincent will join Tyler Herro on the sidelines with a sprained ankle, and that obviously takes a toll on the visitors’ chances.
But they will always have a chance to get the job done for as long as they have Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Erik Spoelstra leading the way, even if the Celtics are no pushovers either.
Whatever the case and whoever wins, none of these teams seems to be a match against the Denver Nuggets, especially given they’ll have homecourt advantage and will get to play at least the first two games in Colorado’s thin air, which is always a factor.
