- The Celtics ensured that the series would return to their building for a Game 6 by plastering the top-seeded Heat to even the series at 2.
- Trevor was the only person that had felt the sting of a scoreless game thus far this season. But Al became the second one at probably the most inopportune time as Max Strus went for his PRA goose egg in the Eastern Conference Finals.
- Speaking of our current overall silver medalist, he wore bronze on this evening. Payton Pritchard didn't get the significant minutes boost Trevor hoped with Marcus Smart sidelined (those went to Derrick White deservedly) but he still was able to bring home 19 PRA in the blowout.
- Robert Williams III's return to the starting lineup disrupted the Heat immensely. Yet Ime Udoka brightly gave him just 19 minutes of run in a runaway effort, netting just 21 PRA for Ryan in that limited action.
- Making the most of an absence is exactly what the bench bargain, optimal scorer, and top scorer of the night Victor Oladipo did for Matt. With Tyler Herro in street clothes, Oladipo was Miami's only source of consistent offense throughout the night. His 33 PRA in Game 4 was a higher output than he had for the first three games of the series combined.
