The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 103-91 in Miami, marking the Heat's sixth straight loss and securing a playoff spot for the Celtics. Jayson Tatum led Boston with 28 points, while Jrue Holiday contributed 25 points, and Derrick White scored 18, including a key performance in the fourth quarter. Despite the absence of starters Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis, the Celtics managed to outscore the Heat 25-14 in the final quarter, making 19 3-pointers throughout the game. The Heat, struggling with a season-low performance, received 23 points from Andrew Wiggins and 19 from Tyler Herro but could not overcome their offensive difficulties, scoring under 15 points in the fourth quarter for the fourth time this season. This victory extends Boston's winning record to 16-4 in their last 20 games and highlights the Heat's ongoing struggles since the trade of key player Jimmy Butler.
