Derrick White's 38-point performance led the Celtics to a 102-88 win and a 3-1 series lead over the Heat.
As one would have expected, the Heat came out launching threes unabashedly in the opening frame of Game 4. Similarly to the first quarter of Saturday's 104-84 Celtics win, Miami actually got good looks early but struggled to find the mark.
White did so on 6/8 shooting, including 4/5 from behind the arc. Along with shooting without hesitation, he knifed in for a put-back after corraling a missed three by Jrue Holiday, and he capitalized on Miami not having anyone back to protect the rim, driving in for a layup.White also had some excellent closeouts that contributed to the visitors playing from ahead and taking a 34-24 advantage into the second period.
There was also a lineup featuring White, Jayson Tatum, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Luke Kornet, which was productive at both ends of the court.
