Derrick White and the Celtics got hot from three and demolished the Heat in the fourth quarter, claiming a 129-116 win.
Here are the takeaways.
Derrick White started an avalanche.
The Celtics won the game with a franchise-record 10 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, but Derrick White got things going in the first half by breaking the lid off the rim.
White made NBA history by burying five 3-pointers and blocking four shots in the first half. Few players are better equipped than the Celtics guard to make 3-pointers and block shots in that kind of volume, but Friday’s game was exceptional even by his lofty standards.
