LAS VEGAS – Derrick Walton Jr. missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer for Miami, and for the second time in as many games, the Summer Celtics sidestepped a late comeback attempt by their opponent to advance to the next round of the Summer League tournament in Las Vegas.
Miami trailed by as many as 14 points during the fourth quarter before making it a one-possession game on multiple occasions during the final two minutes. Boston missed four free throws during the final 24 seconds of the game that afforded the Heat an opportunity to grab a shocking win.
