In an outstanding performance during Game 4 of the NBA playoffs, Derrick White of the Boston Celtics dominated the court, scoring 33 points by the end of the third quarter on 13-of-21 shooting, including 7-of-13 from three-point range. His exceptional play, highlighted by a sequence where a pass from Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat inadvertently hit him in the back of the head, did not deter him; instead, he continued to excel by immediately scoring a three-pointer. By halftime, White had already amassed 22 points on 6-8 from three-point range, contributing significantly to the Celtics' substantial lead of 53-36 over the Heat. His efforts were pivotal in Boston maintaining a commanding lead of 81-59 by the end of the third quarter, with White having scored more threes than the entire Heat team.
