Boston Celtics Game Recap: Turnovers Lead to Ugly Loss in Miami

Meanwhile, the Heat had five players score in double figures in the win.

Miami took three of four in the season series between these team previous year, but the Celtics have won six of the last nine meetings in Miami.

The 3-point record could well have fallen had Curry not sat out the fourth quarter.

-19 turnovers cost the Heat 24pts & they gave up an opponent high 15 steals.

The Boston Celtics continued their trend of inconsistency against the Miami Heat but this was on the positive side. Wade then followed with a steal, only to miss a 3-pointer of his own. Boston’s lead might have been erased entirely if not for Bradley, who knocked down a series of timely shots when the Celtics needed them the most.

Wade then was off with a reverse layup on the other end. They also need more of the discipline Fisher was talking about. Whiteside looked engaged for stretches of the third period, but submitted a lackadaisical first half. After Manu Ginobili missed for San Antonio, Butler hit two free throws with 10.6 seconds left.

The C’s were still up by seven three minutes into the second inning, when the reversal of a call led to the reversal of the game’s momentum.

On Monday night in Miami, Porzingis had a nice game, with 20 points on 7-for-18 from the field and 3-5 on threes, and 14 rebounds in the Knicks’ 95-78 loss.

The Heat often were lethargic with their early play, despite the Celtics being the team playing on the second night of a back-to-back after losing Sunday in Orlando.

NY is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games.

He led the Celtics with 25 points on an efficient 9-for-15 shooting.

Anthony was 4 of 5 for 11 points in the first quarter, but never got anything going again after returning from a break in the second. With the injury bug already hitting the Heat in the form of a Luol Deng hamstring pull, Green has been thrust into the starting lineup, and has been wildly successful. NY played nearly one entire half of good basketball before foul trouble, cold shooting and dominance from random Heat bench douches sent the boys in orange and blue spiraling to a 97-78 defeat. In some ways, I let my team down.

Head coach Erik Spoelstra went with an 8-man rotation for the game with Gerald Green making another spot start.

T.J. Warren scored a career-high 28 points for the Suns in their third straight loss and fourth in five games.

After falling behind early, the Miami Heat were unable to make a late-game comeback versus the Boston Celtics Monday Night.

Chris Bosh had 21 points and 10 rebounds to help lead the Heat, which got 20 first-half points from its bench but nothing else after the intermission.

“It goes around”, Spoelstra said of the illness.

Miami made it a one-possession game on five separate occasions in the final 14 minutes, and Boston scored on its ensuing trip every time.

With the front line shorthanded, forward Jarnell Stokes was back with the Heat after spending three games with the team’s NBA Development League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
