"We didn't make too many adjustments," Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said."We played a little bit harder, we played harder and we dictated the physicality and the tempo of the game. It's the simple things that you have to do under a high level of stress, high level of adversity."Kristaps Porzingis added 18 points, five rebounds and two blocks for the Celtics while Derrick White added 16 points.

The Heat again played without injured standouts Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier . Those two have combined to average 40.6 points per game this season. "They took us out of stuff we would like to get to," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said."They were the more physical team. They bodied us, bullied us on screens, got through stuff, distorted screens, everything. ... You have to credit them for that."
