EDGE Analysis

Bench players Nesmith, Romeo Langford and Dennis Schroder were all a big part of a dominant second quarter where Boston outscored the Heat 33-9. It was an ugly offensive night for Boston, but the defense was stellar. The bench effort was needed, as Jaylen Brown left in the second half due to a hamstring issue and Jayson Tatum scored only 10 points. Boston next travels to Dallas for a Saturday night matchup with the Mavs. Should Brown's hamstring issue linger, playing time will open up for both Nesmith and Langford.
