Watch: Derrick White's scorching start gives Celtics early lead

White nailed his third make from beyond the arc off an assist from guard Payton Pritchard.

The 2022-23 Associated Press second-team all-defensive player also made an impact on that end of the court later in the first. With the Celtics up 26-14, White blocked Heat guard Tyler Herro's 18-foot jumper from behind, directly leading to White's fourth made three of the quarter.

Through the series' first three games, White averaged 16.3 points per game while shooting 56.3 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from three-point range. 

Boston (64-18, first in Eastern Conference) entered the postseason with the league's best record and holds a 2-1 series lead in the best-of-seven series with Miami. 

With stars Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, White can sometimes get lost. 

That certainly wasn't the case early in Game 4.
