Game Recap: Celtics 93, Heat 80. Boston outscores Miami 56-38 in the 2nd half and wins Game 5 to grab a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
- The Celtics’ heart needs a paddling. While the rest of us were wondering just where Boston’s collective heart was Sunday, its players and coaches weren’t puzzled at all.
- Miami’s killer non-Bs. That was Miami coach Erik Spoelstra’s term for his team’s “others,” as in fellows not named Butler or Bam. Spoelstra long ago got tired of being asked about the likes of Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Max Strus all going undrafted before they turned various toeholds in the league into vital roster spots for the Heat.
- Boston’s non-killer Js. Anyone who has second-guessed the folks who voted Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid as the NBA’s 2023 Kia Most Valuable Player — based on the Sixers’ flop from a 3-2 edge in the East semifinals and Embiid’s rather ordinary performance — might want to send some of that vitriol Tatum’s and Brown’s way.
- Going 3-point crazy. That has dual meaning to this point. Miami has been out-of-character good from the arc so far, sinking 19 of 35 in Game 3 and 44 of 92 overall.
