Derrick White had 24 points, including six 3-pointers, and the Boston Celtics<\/a> dominated the Miami Heat 110-97 on Thursday night in Game 5 to extend the Eastern Conference finals.<\/p>\n

Marcus Smart had 23 points and five steals. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finished with 21 points apiece as the Celtics claimed their second straight win and trimmed Miami\u2019s series lead to 3-2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It keeps alive Boston\u2019s hopes of becoming the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a series. Teams previously in that position are 0-150 all-time.<\/p>\n

Game 6 is Saturday in Miami.<\/p>\n

A day after the Florida Panthers punched the franchise\u2019s first ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals since 1996, for the second straight game the Heat were denied a spot in the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

Duncan Robinson led the Heat with 18 points. Bam Adebayo added 16 points and eight rebounds. Jimmy Butler had 14 points, five rebounds and five assists but sat out the final 9:47 of the game. Caleb Martin finished with 14 points.<\/p>\n

It was Butler\u2019s lowest-scoring game of the playoffs. He had 16 points in Game 3, a blowout win by Miami.<\/p>\n

Miami never led and had 16 turnovers.<\/p>\n

Boston entered the day just 4-5 at TD Garden this postseason. But with a raucous home crowd behind them, the Celtics thrived on their energy.<\/p>\n

They dove for loose balls, outfought Miami for rebounds and found each other for layups and dunks in transition as they built as much as 20 points in the first half.<\/p>\n

The Heat cut into it, but Boston kept knocking down 3s and grew its edge as high as 96-72 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Boston\u2019s fans reignited a “Beat the Heat!” chant that hadn\u2019t been prevalent since Game 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Heat started Kyle Lowry at point guard after Gabe Vincent was ruled out with a sprained left ankle earlier in the day. It was Lowry\u2019s first start since Feb. 2.<\/p>\n

Vincent, the Heat\u2019s third-leading scorer this postseason, got hurt late in Miami\u2019s Game 4 loss when he landed awkwardly while trying to save a loose ball near the Heat bench.<\/p>\n

His presence was missed as Miami struggled early on the offensive end, swarmed by a Celtics\u2019 defense that forced the Heat into 10 first-half turnovers that led to 17 Boston points. Lowry played 31 minutes, scored five points and finished with four turnovers.<\/p>\n

TIP-INS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heat: Were outscored 13-0 in second-half points in the opening 24 minutes.<\/p>\n

Celtics: Al Horford added six points and 11 rebounds. \u2026 The Celtics took a 61-44 edge into halftime. \u2026 Boston\u2019s first turnover of the game didn\u2019t come until the 8:16 mark of the second quarter.<\/p>\n

FAST START<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Celtics got the fast start they had hoped for in front of their home crowd.<\/p>\n

Smart stripped Adebayo on Miami\u2019s opening possession, igniting a fast break and layup on the other end by Tatum.<\/p>\n

Then, with the game tied at 4, Tatum got free in the lane for a monstrous two-handed dunk. He hung on the rim afterward and continued his celebration when he landed, leading to a technical foul.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t stop the Celtics\u2019 momentum, as their first-quarter lead grew as high as 23-7. Boston ended the period with a 35-20 lead, punctuated by a 3-pointer by White at the buzzer.<\/p>\n

Tatum had 12 points in the opening 12 minutes, with the Celtics outscoring the Heat 21-6 from beyond the arc. Boston hit 7 of its 12 attempts.<\/p>\n

Celtics Hall of Famer Paul Pierce, NCAA president Charlie Baker and New England Patriots Matt Slater and Devin McCourty were among several celebrities in the Garden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
