I really think he started believing I can make plays down there.Whiteside also had nine rebounds and blocked three shots, while Chris Bosh added 18 points and Tyler Johnson had 13, helping overcome the absences of Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng.Wade missed his second game in a row with a strained right hamstring, while Deng sat out his third straight with a strained calf. Wade, who injured himself in Tuesdays loss to Milwaukee, is averaging 21.4 points and 5.4 assists per game.Whiteside is more than making up for their absence, though, and Spoelstra isnt his only supporter.The 25-year-old has most of Miami in a frenzy following a wild week that included a triple-double and franchise-record 12 blocks last Sunday, and 24 rebounds on Friday.Its quite the story for the former castoff who signed with the Heat in November after playing in both Lebanon and China last year.He continues to surprise me, Bosh said. Hes a talented young fellow. We want to continue to push him and encourage him to play and do well.Avery Bradley and Tyler Zeller led the Celtics with 17 points apiece, and Brandon Bass had 15. It was Bostons third straight loss and fourth in its last five.Weve got to do a better job of finding our pulse at the defensive end regardless of whether the ball is going in the basket or not, Boston coach Brad Stevens said. When you miss the number of shots that we missed, I thought we let that affect how much we talked defensively. I could hear the silence and thats a bad thing.Both teams were coming off their worst shooting performances of the season. Miami was held to a season-low 33.0 per cent in a loss to Dallas, while Boston shot 35.6 per cent in a setback to Houston.Neither fared much better Sunday, with Boston shooting 37 per cent and Miami 41.6, but Whitesides 10-for-17 performance fueled the Heats third win in their last seven games.The suddenly surging 7-foot sensation was relatively quiet for the first two-and-a-half quarters before he began resembling the centre who came in averaging 15.3 points and 17.7 rebounds over his previous threee games, including a triple-double line of 14 points, 13 rebounds and a franchise-record 12 blocks last Sunday. Dejan Lovren Jersey. After Boston erased a 12-point halftime deficit, tying it at 55 with less than three minutes to play in the third, Whiteside had his way with the young Celtics.He scored Miamis final four points of the third and opened the fourth by scoring six straight points, including a pair of long jumpers that restored the Heats eight-point cushion.I hadnt seen him do that yet, Bosh said. I dont think hes seen him do that yet. It was a nice move.Spoelstra didnt seem to mind his big mans decision to shoot from the perimeter.If hes wide open and theyre disrespecting him and it comes within the flow of what we do, Im fine with that, he said.TIP-INSHeat: First-round pick Shabazz Napier, a Roxbury, Mass. native and four-year player at the University of Connecticut, scored five points in his return to Boston. .

He still feels just a little bit of something, Spoelstra said. You look around the league right now with strains, it could turn a lot worse if you dont take care of it fully. Youve got to be 100 per cent ready.TRAFFIC JAMBoston F Jared Sullinger, the only Celtics player to have started every game this season, got caught in traffic and arrived five minutes late to the teams walkthrough Sunday. He was replaced by Zeller in the starting lineup, but Stevens said it wasnt a big deal.POPPELGANGER?Stevens marveled at New England Patriots coach Bill Belichicks accomplishments, comparing him to San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich, who has led the Spurs to five NBA titles.
