The Boston Celtics will play the Miami Heat tonight, Dec. 19 at TD Garden in Boston. What you need to know about the game.
Derrick White scored a season-high 33 points and tied a career-high with nine 3-pointers to help the Boston Celtics pull away in the second half for a 129-116 win over the Miami Heat.
Smith, a reserve guard for the Miami Heat, tore his Achilles on Dec. 23 of last year and was back on the court for training camp in late September. His layoff lasted roughly nine months, far shorter than the time it took players like Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson to return from their respective Achilles surgeries.
The Celtics are playing better than expected and a trade for a quality big man could allow them to make a surprising playoff run
