Boston took Game 4, 102-82, to tie the series despite the absence of injured guard Marcus Smart (ankle), who remains questionable to play along with Derrick White (hamstring) and big man Robert Williams (knee).
Miami got Jimmy Butler back on the floor in Game 4 but it was not enough to stop the Boston juggernaut as the series is down to a best-of-three showdown. The Heat hope to get Kyle Lowry (hamstring) and top reserve Tyler Herro (groin) back, as both players are questionable going into Wednesday’s game.
