Disappointed in how little Mazzulla used Robert Williams tonight. The lobs were a threat and his defense when switched onto Butler was so good, it allowed his teammates to stay at home on shooters. He played only 13 minutes. – 11:09 PM

Rob Williams doing a super job switching onto Butler. Jimmy struggling to finish through the size and many times not even trying to – 9:58 PM

Butler has White 1 v 1 on the wing. No big under the rim. Waits for the screen. Guess whose back to clog the middle? Robert Williams. Bam can’t post deep enough to score over White in the post. Also 1 v 1 🤦🏽

Mazzulla already bringing Rob Williams in for Al Horford. Horford played 20 minutes in the first half and looked gassed on defense at times. – 9:49 PM

Two vital items for the Heat at the half.
Protect the offensive glass batter and continue to get out and run for easy buckets. Celtics need to close out more efficiently on shooters and run more of their offense inside out. The Rob Williams lobs have been a nice weapon – 9:28 PM

Robert Williams asked out after that last possession and is headed back to the locker room. Might have taken a shot to the face. – 9:19 PM

After several bad defensive possessions and some ugly passes, Mazzulla sends Rob Williams in for Smart. First play Miami drags Rob out of the paint and Robinson blows by Horford for the layup. Celtics season is falling apart again. – 9:11 PM

Heat lead 22-15 after the first quarter.
– Celtics again missing from 3 (0 for 10) while Heat find their footing.
– Jimmy Butler got going when hunting the Robert Williams switch.
– Caleb Martin remains sublime. – 8:59 PM

Jimmy Butler taking and making that baseline jumper is a good sign for the Heat. He’s been most aggressive when attacking the Robert Williams III mismatch. – 8:51 PM
