Heat vs. Celtics live updates: Game 6 score, highlights as Boston opens with lead


Gabe Vincent (sprained left ankle) is back for the Heat. Additionally, Miami made a starting lineup change and has inserted Caleb Martin – who is having a monster series – for Kevin Love.

Martin is averaging 17.6 points in this series, the fifth-highest average ever for a reserve player in a conference finals. Starting him in place of Love allows Miami to immediately match the Celtcis’ smaller staring lineup with guard Derrick White, which Boston switched to in Game 4.

Vincent missed Game 5 after landing awkwardly trying to save a ball in the fourth quarter of Game 4. Kyle Lowry started in Vincent’s place in Game 5 and struggled with five points and four turnovers.
