(2:55)BOSTON -- The Heat took their Game 2 loss to the Celtics personally.That was the message coming out of a proud Heat locker room after a gutsy 109-103 win Saturday night that gave them a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals.After getting embarrassed throughout a lackluster Game 2 performance in which the group never found its rhythm, the Heat started Saturday's game with the type of edge on both sides of the floor that has defined their season."They beat us like we stole something in Game 2," Heat center Bam Adebayo said. So when he said that, I had all the confidence in the world to step up and make a shot."Miami still has all the confidence that it can find a way to win this series, even as Butler and guard Tyler Herro, who is dealing with what appears to be a quad injury, try to find their way back to the floor for Game 4.The Heat walked out of TD Garden beaming because they knew they had found a way under adverse circumstances and delivered the Celtics the kind of blow that many weren't expecting after such a demolition by Boston in Game 2."They were just like a wounded animal," Celtics big man Al Horford said.
