he Celtics pulled off a classic home comeback!

The Heat once held a huge 22-point lead, only to have the deficit erased by Boston's blistering 21-point single-quarter run in the third. In the tense fourth-quarter battle, Derrick White's clutch three-pointer proved to be the game-winner, while Mitchell missed a potential game-winning three, as the Celtics edged out the Heat 98-96 at home.

For the Celtics, Jaylen Brown led the offense with 29 points and 7 rebounds, Payton Pritchard exploded for 24 points and 3 assists with sharp outside shooting, White posted a all-around line of 21 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, and Nikola Vucevic notched a double-double with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in his debut—Boston's collective effort showcased their incredible comeback resilience.

For the Heat, Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell combined for 50 points but couldn't turn the tide; their poor execution on clutch shots in the final quarter cost them a hard-fought win.
