MIAMI — As the Heat raced up court, continuing to run away from the Celtics on a play early in the third quarter Sunday night, Jimmy Butler watched as Gabe Vincent pulled up and drilled another 3-pointer.It put the Heat up 23 points. Joe Mazzulla, mercifully, called a timeout. And then Butler got on one knee in front of Al Horford, and flashed the “T” timeout sign at him, a response to what Horford did earlier in the series.The Heat were just trolling the Celtics at this point.They were already embarrassing them, humiliating them, whatever description you wanted to choose, and the worst hadn’t even come yet. The Celtics trailed by as many as 33 in the third quarter. They were thoroughly dominated. It looked as if they had quit. It was over well before Mazzulla pulled most of the starters out to start the fourth quarter, as they threw the towel.Not even the Celtics’ backups put up a fightWith their season on the line, the Celtics submitted their worst effort of the season in a spinel...The 12TH Wounded Vet Run

INDIANAPOLIS — Some four years ago, Adetomiwa Adebawore and Evan Hull arrived together in Evanston as fresh-faced recruits for Northwestern football — and now — both have arrived in Indianapolis, ready to make an impact as rookies for the Colts.Not only did Adebawore and Hull play together as Wildcats — while also being drafted in the fourth and fifth rounds by Indianapolis — they were both a part of the same recruiting class in 2019, and from their very first impressions of one another, two things stood out. Aura and mentality."My first impression of Adetomiwa was probably seeing a video of him power-cleaning 405 in high school, and just from then on out, he's just been a dominant force." Hull said in a Zoom interview with WGN. "He's always been somebody that you notice him when he walks into a room, for sure. He's got that energy. He's got that aura."
