Find out how the Celtics crushed the Heat in Game 4 with a mix of injuries and stellar performances! 🏀

The Boston Celtics had a rollercoaster Game 4 against the Miami Heat, marked by both triumph and concern. Center Kristaps Porzingis suffered a right calf injury during a crucial moment in the first half, leaving fans anxious about his status for future games. Despite this setback, Derrick White emerged as the hero of the night, scoring a career-high 38 points and leading the Celtics to a dominant 102-88 victory.

As Porzingis undergoes tests to assess the severity of his injury, the Celtics are faced with the challenge of managing their lineup effectively in his potential absence. Derrick White's exceptional performance, coupled with Jayson Tatum's solid contribution of 20 points and 10 rebounds, showcased the team's resilience and depth.

In the aftermath of the game, speculations about Porzingis's condition have eased slightly, with sources indicating that an Achilles tendon injury is likely ruled out. However, the Celtics remain vigilant as they await further medical evaluation to determine the extent of Porzingis's calf injury.

The Celtics' victory not only puts them in a commanding 3-1 lead over the Heat but also highlights the importance of player depth and versatility in the intense NBA playoffs. As the team prepares for the next challenges, the stellar performances of White and Tatum have undoubtedly lifted the spirits of Celtics fans, setting the stage for an exciting playoff run.
