The Boston Celtics thrived on 3s and beat the Miami Heat 110-97 in Game 5 to extend the East finals. Derrick White posted 24 points and Marcus Smart added 23 points and five steals for Boston.

The Boston Celtics star guard Jaylen Brown (21 points) believes that the Celtics are back in the series after winning 110-97 in Game 5 to make a 3-2 Miami Heat lead.

“We doubled down on what we’re good at – defense,” Brown said after the game. “I think it’s a series now … we gotta be ready to take their punch.”
