The Miami Heat (21 - 26) defeated the Boston Celtics (16 - 30) 83 - 75 on Sunday at the TD Garden in Boston. The Heat got off to a strong start in this one, out - scoring the Celtics 44 - 31 in the first half alone. They were superior shooters in this game, going 42 percent from the field, while the Celtics went just 37 percent from the floor. The Heat also secured a 46 - 40 rebounding advantage. For the Heat, Hassan Whiteside just kept on going Sunday, recording another impressive performance. In 29 minutes, Whiteside finished with 20 points (10 - 17 FG), nine rebounds and three blocks. He came just one rebound shy of notching his fourth double - double in a row, a stretch where he's averaging 17 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks over those four games. Chris Bosh also had a solid showing, posting 18 points (6 - 19 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT), seven rebounds and two assists. It was n't his best day shooting the ball, but he still did enough to help secure the victory, even with both Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and Luol Deng (calf) sitting out with injuries. Coming off the bench, Tyler Johnson was the only other player in double figures, fininshing with 13 points (4 - 9 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes. This was only his third game of the season, while the points, rebounds and assists were all season - highs for the rookie. The Celtics saw their biggest production from the duo of Avery Bradley and Tyler Zeller. Bradley finished with 17 points (8 - 15 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists, while Zeller had 17 points (6 - 13 FG, 5 - 8 FT), six rebounds and four assists. Bradley shot a combined 8 - for - 27 from the field over his last two games, so it was good to see him shoot the ball a little better on Sunday. Zeller is only averaging 9 points per game so far this season, so his points totals were a nice surprise for the Celtics, despite the loss. The only other Celtic to reach double figures in points was Brandon Bass, who went 7 - for - 14 from the field to record 15 points, while also adding six rebounds and two blocked shots. He's started to heat up, as he's combined for 32 points and 14 rebounds over his last two games. The Heat's next game will be on the road against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, while the Celtics will travel to New York to play the Knicks on Tuesday.
