Miami up, monumental struggle for Boston
Boston finishes the first half shooting 1-for-20 from deep — the fourth worst mark in NBA history.
Miami leads 59-38. Bigger deficits have certainly been overcome, but somebody besides Jaylen Brown (17 points) will need to step up. No other Celtic exceeds five points thus far. Andrew Wiggins matches him with a game-high 17 points (7-10 FG), while Norman Powell (15 points) and Bam Adebayo (12 points) join them with double-digit scoring.

Good ball 🤌🤌
Donte DiVincenzo does an excellent job of boomeranging the ball back to Anthony Edwards to continue attacking the selected matchup, eventually creating an advantage on the drive to set up the Rudy Gobert lob.
Minnesota leads New Orleans 16-15 with 5 minutes remaining in Q1.
