Derrick White's Stellar Performance Leads Celtics to 119-111 Win Over Heat

White scores 14 crucial points in the fourth quarter, bolstering the Celtics against a strong challenge from the Miami Heat in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals.

Derrick White led the Boston Celtics to a victory over the Miami Heat with a remarkable performance, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter and a total of 28 points during the game.
White also made the defensive play of the game with a chase-down block on the Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler, preserving a seven-point lead with less than four minutes left.
Despite Heat player Tyler Herro's 28 points and Bam Adebayo's 27 points, the Celtics managed to maintain their lead and finish strong in the fourth quarter.
The Celtics' win against the Heat, a strong rival from previous seasons, is seen as a good starting point for their new-look team which aims to improve their late-game poise.
The team also paid tribute to the victims of the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, wearing the warmups of their G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, and displaying a 'Maine' band on their jerseys.
