Miami Heat rookie Hassan Whiteside had another fantastic outing in a 83-75 victory over the Celtics. Posting 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks.
“We were trying to run a little bit of the offense through the post just to slow it down a little bit and settle us,” Spoelstra said. “They were really defending our pick-and-rolls and flattening us out on that for a few minutes, so we went to something else just to change the menu, and he responded well. And it also was just a good response for our team.”
Whiteside is averaging 9.1 points and 7.7 rebounds.
