Marcus Smart didn’t play in Game 4 because he simply could not. Tyler Herro didn’t play because the Heat had the luxury of making such a decision. With the Eastern finals tied, we’ll see if it pays off, @The Athletic theathletic.com/3330142/2022/0… – 12:48 PM

Five Degrees of Heat from Monday night’s 102-82 loss in Boston: sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…
1. Awful at the outset.
2. Victor Oladipo tries to provide a spark.
3. Jayson Tatum does that for Celtics.
4. Now a waiting game with Tyler Herro.
5. Marcus Smart out; Derrick White steps up. – 7:45 AM

“We shouldn’t have to get punched in the mouth to respond.”
Al Horford was locked in, Rob Williams was back and the Celtics dominated. But after a wire-to-wire blowout, all they wanted was to prove they can do it again. theathletic.com/3330154/2022/0… – 2:50 AM

Robert Williams (likely final) stat line will be 12 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks in just 19 minutes
In reality, his impact was much more significant – he and Al Horford put a lid on Miami’s basket with their activity around the rim – 10:13 PM

After Robert Williams looked like he was laboring a bit on that left knee, he checks out here early in the third. With Boston up 32, have to wonder if the Celtics will be conservative with him the rest of the way here tonight. – 10:09 PM
