The Rush: Celtics freeze out the Heat’s offense in Game 4 blowout
The Celtics won Game 4 and tied up the Eastern Conference Finals easily as the Heat starters could only manage 18 total points for the entire game! The Arizona Cardinals will be on Hard Knocks this season and it should be pretty entertaining with Kyler Murray’s contract situation and DeAndre Hopkins’ suspension as storylines to follow. And down 3-0 to the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Florida Panthers allegedly prepared for Game 4 in a questionable manner, leading to an unsurprising result.

- So they got sides on Butler.
- White-- alley-oop to Tatum. Oh, perfect pass from White.

JARED QUAY: This wacky Eastern Conference Finals continued in game 4, and this one was all Celtics. Let's check it out. Thanks to "Live Hoops on Hulu." Hulu Plus Live TV has sports, news, and tons of entertainment.
The Celtics had their foot on the pedal from the get-go, and Jayson Tatum went wild with 24 points in the first half.
- Tatum. Tatum on the run. One man to beat. It's Lowry. Gets inside. Count it, and a foul.
JARED QUAY: And the Heat couldn't do very much to slow them down. In fact, the Heat couldn't do much of anything, as their defense allowed five Celtics to score in double figures.
- [INAUDIBLE] oh! Robert Williams!
JARED QUAY: And their offense wasn't any better, as Miami's five starters scored a combined 18 points in the entire game.
- How is that even possible?
JARED QUAY: I'm not going to lie. This is the strangest series I've ever seen. It's like both teams are allergic to playing well at the same time. The series is all tied up now, and we'll see what happens in Miami for game 5 on Wednesday. You can watch all the NBA drama unfold on Hulu with Hulu Plus Live TV.
The NFL announced that the Arizona Cardinals will be on the in-season edition of "Hard Knocks."
- (SINGING) It's a hard-knock life.
JARED QUAY: And this one should be entertaining as hell. There's the drama around Kyler Murray.
- Kyler Murray?
JARED QUAY: The quarterback is in a contract dispute, while his best receiver is suspended for six games for a positive PED test. Then there's the head coach, living that desert mansion life. As if the on-field drama ain't enough, we need to see all the dirty laundry, and the Cardinals should have plenty.
- Get your popcorn ready.
JARED QUAY: If anyone can get that reality TV treatment right now, I want a live look at the Florida Panthers. They just got swept out of the Stanley Cup playoffs by the Lightning, and I'm not surprised if what this anonymous source said was true about the team bonding activities in the early morning hours of game 4.
- They were partying late into the night last night, and found themselves at a local establishment in which there are women who dance for money on stages.
JARED QUAY: I get it. You're down 3-0, and you ain't coming back against the defending champs, so you might as well get the offseason started early.
- Party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party.
