00:00And welcome to TD Garden for the first of four meetings this season between the Celtics
00:09and their foes from South Beach.
00:13Happy Friday night, everybody.
00:14Can't wait to watch it with you.
00:15Alongside Brian Scalabrini and Abby.
00:17Turned his way into the starting five for the Heat, who won at Brooklyn last night,
00:22106-95 to snap a five-game losing streak.
00:25But Celtics have dropped two straight after a five-game win streak.
00:31It's Ware and Cata for the opening tip.
00:34Secured by the third-year pro Jaime Jaquez, who's having a terrific season for Miami.
00:39And a wolf outside his house.
00:41Well, he's got the wolf of Wall Street patrolling the perimeter.
00:45There's Colel Ware from the perimeter for the Heat's first move.
00:47Yeah, he can shoot the ball.
00:49Ware's still just 21 years old.
00:51Out to Yaka Chonis for three.
00:54Whoa.
00:54They're quite a little surprised by that.
00:57The third-year guy of Illinois.
00:58They've got high hopes for him.
01:00Hasn't spent much time with the big club this season.
01:02Now he starts.
01:03Cata a little off balance.
01:05It doesn't matter as he banks it in.
01:06Catch high, keep high, score high.
01:09December 7th, the Sunday in Toronto, where they'll be tomorrow night.
01:12Flying after this game.
01:14Cata the spin.
01:15Ooh.
01:16Drops it home.
01:18Cata.
01:19Walsh drives it on out of Bayo and waves it in against one of the best defenders in the league.
01:30Ware inside.
01:32Oh, man.
01:33Cleans up his own.
01:34Man, I messed up that Subaru key matchup.
01:36We should wear Cata.
01:38This is like Russell and Will.
01:42Dead right.
01:43Right.
01:44Down on the suit.
01:44I knew Derek White was going to take that throw off my back personal.
01:48Mimi, the offensive rebound.
01:49Oh, go to work.
01:50Yeah, on the block.
01:51Pritchard.
01:54Ball's out.
01:55Not going to miss twice.
01:56No, Cata's doing it all right now.
01:58Drew Smith is in the game for Miami.
02:00He's played every single game for them this year.
02:03That is notable.
02:04Abby will tell you why Leiter is.
02:05Powell has a chance at a four-point play.
02:09He said he wasn't good enough, and that's why they lost the game.
02:11Yeah, you're down by four, and you get fouled.
02:14You can't go over two.
02:15The spot player's got to make those.
02:18There's Powell again.
02:19Oh.
02:21Smith inside for two to tie the game.
02:30Drew Smith.
02:34Now, D-White, the only starter in the game is Fontecchio.
02:37Reigns in a three.
02:39Think about the NBA, you should never know, right?
02:45Mine out the steal on the lazy hot-dus pass.
02:48Josh pushing Tempo inside.
02:50Lazy hand.
02:51Great push.
02:52Good use of his body in transition.
03:01Derek White gives the Celtics the lead again.
03:05Derek White loves to shoot.
03:06Consecutive games, extending his own Celtics record.
03:09Off the mark here.
03:11Mine out got a hand on it.
03:12Saved it to White over to Ugo on the tail.
03:21That's unheard of in Jason.
03:22Oh, Simon's with a good start.
03:27He got a great first down.
03:29There's Hawkins.
03:37That's good.
03:39That'd be good, just not great.
03:41He feels like he could average more points and more assists.
03:44It does seem that way.
03:46Kata drops it in on the feed for Simon.
03:50White, Simon, Shireman, Hauser, and Kata.
03:53Anfernee Simons for two.
03:59Not been cooking so far.
04:01But he's been impressed by Anfernee Simons, especially with what he's doing defensively.
04:06Gardner for three, the two-way player.
04:08A skip from Fontecchio.
04:11Gardner almost had it stripped by Hauser.
04:14Shot clock down to three.
04:16Fontecchio lobs it.
04:17Abayo stuffs it.
04:19And I mean, moving that ball really well, giving the Celtics in rotation.
04:22Tom Chambers, elevated.
04:27White.
04:29That's his bread and butter in the paint.
04:31And hit him with that decel step.
04:38Brown finds Walsh.
04:41He never misses in the paint.
04:42I love where he's facing and positioning of where to go.
04:48It's always on point.
04:50Abayo swarm.
04:52Kick it out Fontecchio.
04:53It's a good look.
04:54Not a good shot.
04:55Talked about it.
04:57How many games in a row with hundreds with nine and below?
05:00Five.
05:01Ooh, Jalen Brown gets himself his first bucket.
05:04Miami pushing tempo again.
05:09Gardner hangs and hits.
05:11They're always leaking a guy out.
05:15Out of BIO.
05:17Airball.
05:18Ends up with Yaka Jonas for three.
05:26Brown says, I've had enough of this.
05:28Take some of it.
05:30Oh, move.
05:31Jalen Brown making something out of nothing.
05:34Fine.
05:39Fontecchio rips the cords.
05:42Ware defended by Walsh who goes straight up.
05:45Forced the miss.
05:47And I think White batted that in.
05:48Where's a problem down there?
05:51Not a good idea when Derek White's in there.
05:55Gonzalez the step through.
05:57Go, Gonzalez!
06:00You are sitting courtside tonight.
06:02Does this group remind you at all of that 15-16 team and overachieving coming together the
06:07way they did?
06:08A little bit.
06:08Just because they've been counted out since Jason Tatum's been hurt.
06:12They're well coached.
06:13And, you know, they're always going to be in position to win for sure.
06:17Isaiah, so good to see you.
06:18The slow grind continues.
06:20He is not retired yet, everybody.
06:22Because we're going to break.
06:23Foins that crew.
06:26But if he hits one more, Dick Light.
06:29Oh, he's going to have to refresh that query.
06:33Here's Powell.
06:34All kinds of room.
06:35What do you think?
06:37Here's his nine threes.
06:40Is it defense by Walsh on hot dogs?
06:43Making life miserable for him.
06:45Straight up defensively forced the miss out of Bio.
06:48The offensive rebound and put them, they are killing the Celtics on the glass.
06:52Yeah, they've been crashing all night so far, but some just got to figure out at halftime
06:58how they're going to get some of the defensive boards.
07:02Whoa!
07:03Flay!
07:03Right!
07:04Of the Boston Celtics.
07:06Injured?
07:06Better found still.
07:07Getting the points in the paint.
07:09But the second chance points have been a big issue.
07:11And Richard sets off the tone.
07:14Just like your boy Cooper Flagg.
07:16So smart he got into Duke early and then graduated in the year.
07:22Here, just driving wherever they want to go.
07:25Defended by the big man Ware.
07:28Leads him out to an island.
07:30In the isolation.
07:31JB to his spot.
07:33Midranger is here.
07:36Let's see if that plays the role in the second half.
07:43Oh!
07:43Stop!
07:44The seas parted.
07:45We are running out.
07:46We're running in mud right now.
07:49Congratulations.
07:51You remember the guy's name?
07:52Yeah.
07:53Shushu Juan.
07:55Shushu Juan.
07:56Man!
07:56Ware again.
07:58Also out.
08:03White, the catch and shoot, did not hesitate.
08:05And why would you when you're Derek White?
08:07His sixth three.
08:08That is so hard to guard.
08:10Shooting out of a dribble handoff?
08:12That is not easy.
08:15You see Tata looks to be all right after that hard fall.
08:19Yaka Chonis gets it right back.
08:23That's good.
08:25And here's Norm Powell.
08:29That's tough.
08:30Thanks, Norm.
08:31That is tough.
08:32No shot clock reset.
08:36Walsh never had possession.
08:38Ware with a hand and a face.
08:40Oh, boy.
08:41I'm with Joe here.
08:43I'm with Joe to the deal.
08:45And then how do you eventually get back to where you were?
08:48There's no star player has ever done that.
08:52Brown drops it in on the drive.
08:54Well, if you're looking at that 10-month mark, that would put him in March.
08:57After he ruptured the Achilles last May.
09:00There is Drew Smith.
09:01High off glass.
09:02Nice.
09:02Nice player for the Heat, even though they've cut him four different times.
09:07We had an ACL tear, and then the Achilles that Abby was talking about.
09:10The Brazilian story.
09:12Three balls good from Yaka Chonis in the Heat.
09:15So no signs of slowing down.
09:16No, the biggest problem is the Heat are just cracking us off the dribble.
09:20Oh, missed it, and then he followed it up, and won.
09:30He trails, he shoots, he scores.
09:37JB4 for 10.
09:38He is 8th for 8 at the lie.
09:40He's got 16 points.
09:41Brown inside, scores it.
09:45Looking out at the bench, the stay-ready group is going to be pretty legit.
09:48Those games are probably intense.
09:50Brown the steal on Hacquez.
09:54Leads the break.
09:55Simons glides in and puts the Celtics back in front.
09:59His fifth.
10:00Here's Simons.
10:04There it is again, that same action.
10:07Brown against Bam.
10:09Kick it out.
10:10White's open.
10:11It's good.
10:17Hacquez going at Simons.
10:19Tough move.
10:21Yeah, it's really tough.
10:21Got contact and everything.
10:24All five starters for the Heat now in double figures.
10:27Ware has a team high 18.
10:29Brown with a left hand.
10:31Lays it in.
10:33A chance for Miami.
10:35It'll be Smith.
10:36All five starters for the Heat now in double figures.
10:43Ware has a team high 18.
10:45Brown with a left hand.
10:47Lays it in.
10:49A chance for Miami.
10:50The Heat have taken 18 more field goal attempts, which is why they're within three despite the
11:00shooting percentage disparity.
11:03D-White, the top scorer in the game with 25.
11:05He's made seven triples.
11:06How about Hauser?
11:07How about you?
11:10Chelsea's come back with their snap play.
11:13Hauser is two for two from downtown.
11:16Gonzalez with the steal.
11:19Sam stop and pop.
11:21Oh yeah!
11:25It's a house party on this Friday night.
11:28Average is about a steal and a half for a game.
11:30Fantecchio for a three.
11:34Fantecchio was struggling.
11:35Turnover, missing layups, but here is White.
11:40Five to shoot.
11:41The step back.
11:42The three!
11:43His pockets are full tonight.
11:50Give it up for Simons.
11:52He passes out.
11:53Oh, the Celtics have found the mark in the fourth.
11:57He had been 0 for 11 overall in his last two games.
12:00A rough one in Milwaukee, then he got hurt early Monday against Detroit.
12:04As that, Abayo puts it in.
12:05But Sam tonight is three for three, all from downtown.
12:12D-White.
12:14Unstoppable!
12:16Friday night, go cash your check at the bank.
12:19With 31, which he's now done twice this week.
12:22Oh, what?
12:22Oh, I wanted it.
12:24Hauser.
12:25Yes, sir!
12:27Hauser is supposed to have all these team outs.
12:30Simons.
12:35White pass the big man way.
12:41White draws a lot of attention.
12:43Great skip.
12:44Hugo Gonzalez for Trace.
12:47Threes are flowing right now.
12:48And a perfect pass from White.
12:59Wow.
13:05Brown steps to the side.
13:07Knocks down the triple.
13:09Right off the bench.
13:10Final five minutes are presented by Eastern Bank.
13:15Join us for good.
13:16Hawkez splits two and scores.
13:18Tough move.
13:20And Hawke, yeah, their spin move.
13:21That is not easy.
13:23Two come to Brown.
13:24He finds White in the paint.
13:26Two more for Derek White.
13:28And a season-high 33.
13:30Derek White is balling right from the start today.
13:33And JV just picked up his seventh assist.
13:37So back-to-back games with eight boards and seven dimes.
13:40And a bio for two.
13:41And a bio.
13:43Celtics bench thought it was a...
13:44And JV just picked up his seventh assist.
13:47So back-to-back games with eight boards and seven dimes.
13:49And a bio for two.
13:51And a bio.
13:52Ooh.
13:55White can go past anybody right now.
13:58Kicks it out.
13:58Houser, he cashes out again.
14:01The Howitzer is unjamped.
14:03Nine threes in the fourth quarter.
14:05Ties a franchise record.
14:08The NBA record is 11.
14:10Celtics still have time to get there as Powell weighs it in.
14:16Eight boards.
14:19Jalen Brown drops it in.
14:22And with that bucket, JV into 13th place in Celtics history.
14:27That's a lot of points right there.
14:28He's walking with giants now.
14:30Yes, he is.
14:38Three more on the stop and pop.
14:41There's the Celtics record for threes in a fourth quarter.
14:45He got blitzed like that and he still had a foul again.
14:49There goes the clock.
14:50There goes the buzzer.
14:51And there goes the losing streak out the window.
14:54Jalen Brown and Derek White both with 30.
14:57And the Celtics back to their winning ways as they beat the Heat again.
15:03Jalen Brown and Derek White as well.
15:07Yeah.
15:11The Savage of the Nordic du opportunist.
15:14The Masters have fallen against each other underhanded on the day.
15:18The Savage of the� Pod charges are attached to entire Aston Mantra.
15:20The Savage from the Dynasty.
15:22The American Patriarch of the roasting year.
15:23The humpback of Chicago.
15:23The French Castille practiced.
15:24And the Madden beans died to the Shade.
15:25And the Mexican Marã‚´ay.
15:26The Spanish to the planet are not clear enough.
15:28And so the disease was achieved the health of New Orleans land.
15:29And so what has happened.
15:30But it dropped what has happened?
