Celtics extend Eastern final to Game 5 in Boston
Jayson Tatum had 34 points and 11 rebounds, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown each added 16 points to help the Boston Celtics stave off elimination in the NBA Eastern Conference finals by running away in the second half to beat the Miami Heat 116-99 in Game 4 on Tuesday night. Grant Williams, Al Horford and Marcus Smart also got into double figures for the Celtics, who still trail the series 3-1 but sent it back to Boston for a Game 5 on Thursday. Jimmy Butler scored 29 for Miami, who led by nine in the second half before getting outscored 48-22 in a 14-minute stretch that turned the game - and perhaps the series - completely around.  Boston would also have Game 7 on its floor as well if it can keep extending this series. But no team in NBA history has ever successfully rallied from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series; 150 have tried, 150 have failed. (AP)
