White scored 38 points, while Miami’s offense could not get hot from three.
The Boston Celtics are one win away from exercising some playoff demons. On Monday night, the Celtics went to South Beach to take on the Miami Heat in Game 4 of their first round series, and thanks to a monster night by Derrick White, the team was able to move one win away from the conference semifinals. By the time the final horn sounded, Boston picked up a 102-88 win.
The Celtics were led on the evening by Derrick White, who had the best game of his postseason career. With both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown struggling to get going from the field and Kristaps Porzingis leaving the game due to an injury, White stepped up in a big way, going for 38 points on 15-for-26 shooting and 8-for-15 shooting from behind the three-point line. It’s the most points he has ever scored in a single game in his career, whether that’s the regular season or playoffs.
