MIAMI -- Isaiah Thomas endured his worst shooting night of the season, and the Boston Celtics still made scoring on Miami look easy.Thomas had 25 points and eight assists, Avery Bradley added 18 points and the Celtics beat the Heat 112-104 on Monday night -- putting up more points on Miami than any other opponent all season.Thomas shot 7 for 23, but the Celtics put six players in double figures and never trailed after the midpoint of the first quarter.We took what the defense gave us, said Bostons Kelly Olynyk, who had 14 points. We just kind of found ways to score however they were guarding us.Jae Crowder scored 17 points for Boston, which beat Miami for the fourth consecutive time.Goran Dragic had 27 points and 17 assists for the Heat, setting season bests in both categories. Hassan Whiteside added 25 points and 17 rebounds, and Josh Richardson scored 12.That is the Goran Dragic we know, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Its my responsibility to get him to that more frequently.The Heat tied a season low for a quarter with 12 points in the second, going into halftime down 48-31. They established a season best with 42 points in the third, yet Boston maintained a double-digit lead.They went on a run in the third quarter, but any way we can get road wins were going to take them, Thomas said.Marcus Smart picked up three fouls -- a flagrant, a personal and a technical -- 51 seconds apart late in the fourth, and that helped Miami get Bostons lead down to nine for the first time since the second quarter.But the Heat still fell to 2-7 at home.We just need to continue to grind, to get better, Dragic said. We have so many times were not focused enough. ... You cannot win games like that. We need to figure out something, for sure.TIP-INSCeltics: Al Horford (newborn child) missed the game but is expected to practice Tuesday. ... Shortly before tip-off, Thomas posed for a photo with a soldier who was near the Boston bench. ... Of the 10 Celtics who played, nine had an assist.Heat: Miami missed its first 14 3-pointers before Richardson finally got one to drop midway through the third quarter. A fan actually made one before any Heat player, connecting -- while seated, no less -- during a second-quarter timeout and winning a tablet. ... Whiteside has at least one blocked shot in 46 consecutive games.HEAT INJURIESWayne Ellington played 27 minutes and scored nine points in his Heat debut after missing 16 games with a bruised thigh. Dragic (left elbow) returned from a two-game absence, though he still has some pain. Justise Winslow (left wrist) missed his eighth straight game, while Tyler Johnson (tooth) and Dion Waiters (groin) also were ruled out. Whiteside had an MRI on his sore left knee earlier in the day, and the results did not show any structural problems.GREEN RETURNSGerald Green was back in Miami for the first time since his one-season stint with the Heat ended. He greeted former teammates like Udonis Haslem before the game and said he was happy with his second stint in Boston. The first time I was there I was the youngest guy on the team. Now Im the oldest guy on the team, said the 30-year-old Green, who is about 5 months older than Horford.UP NEXTCeltics: Host Detroit on Wednesday, the start of a two-game homestand.Heat: Visit Denver on Wednesday, beginning a three-game trip against Western Conference foes.

Bastian Schweinsteiger Jersey . Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Joe Haden is still searching for answers, knowing he and the Cleveland Browns have two chances left to avoid matching the NFLs record for futility.Trying to figure out what we could have done better, what I could have done better, Haden said. We come in here every single week after a loss, and its just tough. It gets harder and harder, but its nobody that can change it but us.The veteran cornerback spoke Sunday after the Browns dropped to 0-14 following a 33-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills .Cleveland matched the worst record to this point in a season, set by the 1976 Buccaneers and 1980 Saints and the 2008 Lions. Detroit is the NFLs only team to go without a win in a 16-game season.First-year coach Hue Jackson isnt ruling out anything when it comes to helping the Browns find that elusive win and end an 0-17 streak dating to last season.Everything is going to be on the table, said Jackson, adding that includes quarterback after Robert Griffin III was inconsistent in making his second straight start.We have nowhere to go up, but we have a lot of work to do, he added. This wasnt my dream by any stretch of imagination. But Im not running from this.Funny Jackson should mention running, because their defense was unable to stop the Bills from running all over them.LeSean McCoy had a season-high 153 yards rushing and scored twice to break the game open on consecutive possessions spanning the third and fourth quarters.The Bills (7-7) stayed mathematically in the playoff picture at a time when coach Rex Ryan and quarterback Tyrod Taylors futures are in question beyond this season.PUCKS VS. PIGSKINS: Bills center Eric Wood, sidelined by a broken leg, backed both Ryan and Taylor in favoring continuity in a message to team owners Terry and Kim Pegula, who also own the NHL Buffalo Sabres.This isnt like hockey where you scrap your franchise for a guy that you know is coming like an Eichel or McDavid, Wood told The Associated Press, referring to Buffalos Jack Eichel and Edmontons Connor McDavid, the top two picks in the 2015 draft. This is football. You can get a No. 1 draft pick, and the best guy on thee board is a tackle that year, and a tackle doesnt change your franchise.ddddddddddddN THE RUN: McCoy upped his season total to 1,129 yards rushing and has now scored 12 TDs rushing, the most since Willis McGahee had 13 in 2004. It also marked his sixth game topping 100 yards rushing this season.Add in Mike Gillislees 3-yard touchdown run and the Bills have scored 27 on the ground to surpass the franchise record of 26 set in 1975 during the O.J. Simpson era.Taylor had 49 yards rushing to up his season total to 520, and 48 short of matching the franchise record for quarterbacks he set last year.SACK ATTACK IS BACK: After being held without a sack for two consecutive games, the Bills got to Griffin five times to match a single-season high.That included defensive tackle Kyle Williams being credited with 1 1/2 to up his career total a week after sitting out because of a sore back.You dont replace a guy like that, Ryan said. You notice when theyre gone and we certainly missed him last week.SCRAMBLER: Griffin scored on a nifty 18-yard run in which he was flushed from the pocket, outraced linebacker Jerry Hughes and had enough momentum to dive across the goal line after being hit by linebacker Preston Brown. After scoring on 1-yard run in a 23-10 loss to Cincinnati the previous week, he became Clevelands first quarterback to score TDs rushing in consecutive games since Charlie Frye had a three-game streak in 2006.Griffin went 17 of 28 for 196 yards passing, and had a team-best 48 yards rushing.STILL TRAILING: Down 3-0, the Browns had a chance to take a lead when facing first-and-goal at the 5 on their second drive. They instead went backward. Running back Isaiah Crowell lost 2 yards followed by Griffin being sacked twice.Cody Parkey hit a 35-yard field goal to tie the game.Cleveland has not held a lead in 17-plus quarters, dating to a 7-6 edge over Baltimore in the third quarter of a 28-7 loss on Nov. 10.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping China NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys From China ' ' '
