And come off the bench in 26, Malcolm Brogdon for the Celtics has a torn tendon in between his elbow and his forearm.

You got it, Mark Davis is our crew chief. David Guthrie, our referee.
Billy Kennedy, the umpire. Alternate, Brian Forte. Replay center, Kourtney Kirkland.
And here we go, up and running inside. Bam out of bounds, lost the ball.
You talked about this at the top, Coach, creating an offense from your defense.
Keep trying to get Bam out of bounds going early.
And there it is, Reggie, just what you talked about. Now.
Love to Butler, and Brown will pick him up.

Yeah, they just need to play better. You can't, it's not a matter of shots dropping.
They're just not executing at all.
Martin has taken his place, and Adebayo will take it down low and take it to the rack.
Getting him unhinged offensively is huge.

Strews triple. Comes at a good time, and that is the first that the Heat have put through from distance.
Zeller has come in for Adebayo.
Tatum works his way down the line.
Less minutes was more about the match-ups and the hot hand than it was the injuries.
Alley thanks. White is defending Martin, who leans in with a series of moves and gets the two.

Boston has watched five of the last seven playoff games at home.
They've controlled since the beginning.

We can't stress enough.
Four of the last five times Boston has won.
