--The Celtics held the Heat to 17 made field goals, an NBA record low for the shot clock era.
"Offense for show, defense for dough," said Ray Allen. Coming into the game, Miami held the defensive record, keeping Chicago to 18 in April of 1999.
--Doc Rivers doesn't think it's wrong that Miami coach Pat Riley has left the club to scout for the draft.
"I actually sat with him at the Davidson(-Georgetown) game," said Rivers, who was there to see son Jeremiah play for the Hoyas. "I thought it was pretty cool that we got to sit there and watch a college. He made the funny line. He said, 'I can't believe you're here and nobody's saying anything about it.' I said, 'Well, the difference is we're not playing right now.'"
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We just came out aggressive and never looked back, to tell you the truth." -- Forward Kevin Garnett, after the win over Miami.
