1. Monster First Half for Whiteside
Against a tough center in Zaza Pachulia, Whiteside played quite well and had a fantastic start to the contest. In the first half, he fought hard on the glass for some second-chance opportunities and also knocked down three mid-range jumpers. Later in the second quarter, both he and Dwyane Wade ran the pick-and-roll to perfection as usual. Whiteside simply filled the stat sheet with 18 points and 13 boards through two quarters.
