热火队今年季后赛缔造的「老八传奇」，惊奇成分愈来愈浓。昨天一票选秀落选的球员火力全开，只花三节就锁定胜利，当家球星「士官长」巴特勒还做出暂停手势嘲讽对手，第四节更直接当啦啦队，见证球队以128：102轻松击败塞尔蒂克队，东区决赛取得3：0的「听牌」绝对领先。

热火昨命中率超过5成6，其中三分球35投19中、命中率超过5成4，中锋阿德巴约形容「对大家来说，篮框就像海一样大。」

昨大胜是由热火的选秀落选球员领衔，文森14投11中轰下全场最高29分，板凳出发的罗宾森三分球7投5中贡献22分，马丁也有18分，让总教练史波史特拉离领军热火闯进第6次的总冠军赛只差一胜。

文森强调，系列赛要赢下4场才是结束，「我们不会3胜就满足。」根据统计，季后赛前3战都夺胜的队伍，出线机率是百分百，热火在同样状况下更有8胜0败完美战绩，最快将在明天进行的第4战抢下总冠军赛门票。

热火当家球星巴特勒昨只打31分钟就收工，他第三节大幅领先下还做出「暂停」动作，向第一战做出同样举动的塞尔蒂克长人霍福特「致敬」，夸张动作引起讨论。
