The Celtics (10 - 8) were able to hold on to defeat the Heat (10 - 6) 105 - 95 at American Airlines Arena on Monday. The Heat pulled to within three points with a minute left in the fourth quarter, but five points from Evan Turner iced the game for Boston, which rebounded nicely after losing to the Magic on Sunday. Dwyane Wade turned in a vintage performance with a season - high 30 points (12 - 24 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT), five steals, four rebounds and four assists. With Marcus Smart sidelined yet another game, Avery Bradley stepped up again for the Celtics, scoring a team - high 25 points (9 - 15 FG, 3 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT). Boston showed no signs of fatigue playing a second game in two nights and had an easy time scoring the basketball against a normally solid Heat defense. Turner was a spark plug off the bench, finishing with 13 points (5 - 11 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals. The Celtics - - aside from Chris Bosh and Wade - - did a great job containing the Heat, as Tyler Johnson was the only other Miami player to score in double figures. Isaiah Thomas chipped in 16 points and nine assists. Miami managed to keep the game close, but eventually caved late in the fourth with a couple of fouls and a missed three - point attempt by Bosh. Usually dominant down low, Hassan Whiteside had an uncharacteristic night with just six points, eight rebounds and three blocks in 26 minutes. The Heat were also short a few bodies with Luol Deng (hamstring), Chris Anderson (illness) and Amar'e Stoudemire (illness) all out, which forced coach Erik Spoelstra to roll with an eight - man rotation. The Celtics head home to face the Kings on Thursday; the Heat get Kevin Durant and the Thunder.
