Halfway through the first quarter of Game 5, Derrick White drove through the Miami Heat’s defense and threw down a one-handed slam.

As he was backtracking toward the Boston Celtics bench, he stared at his hand, almost as if he was in awe of what he had just done.

Boston’s bench loved it, surrounding White with cheers and propping him up. He was in the midst of a 15-point first quarter and on the heels of a 38-point masterclass in Game 4.

White brought out a celebration earlier this series, too.
