LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- After the Boston Celtics walked into the locker room at halftime of Game 5 of the NBA's Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat, having produced a second consecutive lackluster first half in a series they trailed 3-1, they knew something had to change.
Before they returned to the court for Friday's second half, point guard Kemba Walker had a simple message for his team.
"What I remember from halftime is Kemba saying, 'We just need to settle down a little bit,'" Jaylen Brown said.
