How did they do it?

How does a team give up 17 offensive rebounds, turn the ball over 24 times and allow another team to take 30 more shots and still win?
I don't mean to be negitive after such a great game, but i really don't understand how a team could look as bad as the Celtics did, and still win. I mean there was one time in the 4th quarter that the Heat must have gotten something like 10 shots at the basket.
Is the Celtics defense that good or are the Heat just that bad?

Shoot over 54%.  In fact the only reason the game was close was because of things you outlined in your post.  I'm sure some of sloppiness had to with Rondo and Pierce just coming back and combining for 11 of the 24.  Oh and also they never ever ever ever quit.
