Derrick White sat at the podium in the Kaseya Center rubbing his face as he answered questions about his playoff career-high 38-point performance during the Celtics’ 102-88 win against Miami in Game 4.
White drilled eight 3-pointers in the win, which put the Celtics up 3-1 in their Eastern Conference first-round series and gave Boston the opportunity to close out the Heat at home in Game 5 at TD Garden Wednesday night.
But, instead of bragging about his accomplishments, White praised his coaches and teammates for empowering him to become such an impactful player.
