"Anfernee Simons scored 18 of his season-high 39 points in the fourth quarter, Jaylen Brown added 27 and the Boston Celtics trailed most of the way before rallying to beat the Miami Heat 119-114 on Thursday night. Sam Hauser added 17 points for the Celtics, who outscored Miami 36-21 in the fourth quarter and won after facing as much as a 19-point deficit. It was their second-biggest comeback win of the season, after coming from 20 down to beat Indiana on Dec. 22."
"Simons had the second highest-scoring game for a reserve this season - Utah's Brice Sensabaugh had 43 on Wednesday night in a loss to Chicago - and became the fourth Celtics player in the last 50 years to score at least 39 off the bench. The others: Larry Bird, Todd Day and Payton Pritchard. Norman Powell scored 26 points for Miami, which got 22 points apiece from Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro."
