The Boston Celtics aren’t done yet. The Celtics were once down 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals. They’re now within 3-2, after leading the whole way and topping the Miami Heat 110-97 on Thursday night. Boston had four players, all of them starters, with at least 21 points. Derrick White led the way with 24, Marcus Smart added 23, while Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had 21 apiece. It was the first time Boston had four starters score that many in a playoff game since June 11, 1987, against the Lakers.
