The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 112 - 104 Monday at AmericanAirlines Arena . The Celtics ( 10 - 7 ) continued to surge with heir fourth win in their last five games . They were led by point guard Isaiah Thomas , who , despite having a poor shooting performance from the field , managed to record 25 points , eight assists and four steals in 35 minutes , and his work has a floor leader propelled the Celtics to have 46 assists to just nine turnovers as a team . Fellow starters on the wing Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder recorded 18 and 17 points respectively , but it was the play of Boston 's bench that really helped get them to victory , with four reserves managing to score 38 points Monday night . For Miami ( 5 - 12 ) , they came into Monday 's game depleted with injuries , with Dion Waiters ( groin ) , Tyler Johnson ( mouth ) and Justise Winslow ( wrist ) all ruled out . Additionally , starting point guard Goran Dragic ( elbow ) and Hassan Whiteside ( knee ) were both listed as questionable but managed to play through their ailments . And they were very impressive despite the injuries , with Dragic posting 27 points and 17 assists and Whiteside posting his own double - double of 25 points on 10 - of - 13 shooting and 17 rebounds . Their efforts , however , were not nearly enough , as the team lacked much of an offensive punch outside of those two . They mainly lacked punch from the outside , as Miami shot just 6 - of - 30 from behind the arc as a team . Up next , the Celtics will look to keep rolling at home Wednesday against the Pistons , while the Heat will head to Denver on Wednesday and play the Nuggets . There 's no question Isaiah Thomas is the team 's No . 1 scoring option and has done an admirable job taking on those duties , but it has n't come without the efficiency issues that come with being under six feet tall . Monday 's performance was yet another example , as while Thomas managed to score 25 points , he did so on 7 - of - 23 shooting from the field , which is the sixth time in the last nine games that Thomas has shot under 40 percent from the field . He is , however , still scoring 26 points per game over that span and has done so with his ability to not only get to the free throw line , but make most of his free throw attempts . In those nine games , Thomas has gotten to the line 84 times and is shooting an incredible 89 percent from the charity stripe . So , while as a pure shooter from the field , Thomas may not be the most accurate , the way he utilizes his size to draw fouls may make up for it .
