MIAMI -- Isaiah Thomas drew blood from Justise Winslow. Other than that, most of Miamis biggest problems were self-inflicted.And the Boston Celtics reaped the benefits.Thomas scored 23 points before getting ejected, Avery Bradley added 20 and the Celtics led by 22 points in the first half before hanging on to beat the Heat 105-95 on Sunday night.I thought we answered their runs well, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. You knew they were going to come. ... Thats a hard-playing team.Al Horford had 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to help the Celtics beat Miami for the fifth consecutive time.Were playing well, Horford said. It shows we can close out games on the road.Miami turned the ball over 23 times, leading to 24 Boston points. And the Heat went 6 for 14 from the foul line in the fourth quarter, 14 for 25 in the game to further cement themselves as the NBAs worst free-throw-shooting team this season.Every time we had an opportunity, we coughed it up right as the momentum would shift, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Thats one of our most inefficient games of the year.Goran Dragic led all scorers with 31 points for Miami. Hassan Whiteside finished with 23 points and 17 rebounds, all but one of those rebounds coming in the second half.Thomas was ejected with 3:02 left for elbowing Winslow in the face, bloodying the Heat forward and being assessed with a flagrant-2 after a review.Winslow needed sutures postgame, but said he didnt think Thomas had intent. Neither did Stevens.(Referee) Tony Brothers didnt think it was a flagrant-2 but he has to go with what they say, Thomas said. Im happy we won but Im disappointed that they kicked me out. Theres no reason for that.Winslow missed both resulting free throws -- part of that season-long Miami problem -- but the Heat seemed sparked nonetheless.In just over a minute after Thomas ejection, the Heat had what was a 12-point deficit down to 97-93. Dragic connected on a 3-pointer from the right corner with 2:04 remaining and Tyler Johnson added a free throw not long afterward.But the Heat got no closer.Weve got to figure out a way to get that second-half intensity in the first half, Winslow said.TIP-INSCeltics: Bostons 22-point lead was the biggest deficit the Heat have faced at home this season. Utah led Miami by 21. The Celtics also led by 19 at Miami earlier this season. ... Former Heat guard Gerald Green (sore left hip) was sidelined. ... The Celtics turned Miamis first five turnovers into 12 points.Heat: Dragic was 5 for 6 on 3s. ... Wayne Ellington (hamstring) was out.

Whitesides third block gave him 457 with Miami, passing Joel Anthony for No. 4 in team history.ROAD WARRIORSLater this week, Boston will wrap up a stretch where 18 of its first 29 games came on the road. No team in the NBA has played fewer home games than the Celtics so far; Sacramento has also played 11, and San Antonio played its 12th on Sunday. Its part of it. Youve got to play 41 road games. Were playing a lot of ours early, Stevens said.NOT FREEThe Heat are on pace for the worst free-throw shooting season in franchise history.

Nike Vapormax Miehet . According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. Eddie Jones has created an unstoppable England team but cannot claim all the credit for their recent success, according to South Africa head coach Allister Coetzee.Coetzee stated former England boss Stuart Lancaster also had a hand in Englands superb run of form, which has included nine wins out of nine under Jones this year.England now turn their attention to the autumn internationals and their opening opponents South Africa, whom they host at Twickenham on Saturday.Coetzee described Jones as a flipping hard-working coach, having worked with the Australian during the Springboks World Cup winning campaign in 2007. But he added that Lancasters role in laying a strong foundation for England should not be forgotten.I must also not take any credit away from Stuart Lancaster, Coetzee said. The big thing about Test rugby is its about players being given opportunities and then making mistakes. They made mistakes under Stuart but they got the exposure there. That helped.Take nothing away from Eddie, he understood the profile of the team and where they are, he changed captains, he hit the right buttons and thats why they got the belief back.Its funny, a team with confidence is a good team. It doesnt matter about talent, if they ooze confidence and there is that cohesion and synergy then it is an unstoppable team.Thats where England are at the moment, they have that self-belief.While England have regrouped quickly since their humiliating World Cup exit one year ago, South Africas rebuilding process has been far from smooth.They were hammered 57-15 by New Zealand -- their heaviest ever defeat at home -- in the Rugby Championship last month, ending a tournament that yielded only two wins from six.Coetzee, who succeeded Heyneke Meyer in April, callled for patience.ddddddddddddWe lost six or seven players [after the World Cup] with all their knowledge and experience in crucial positions, Coetzee said. To replace that will take time.Theres always stuff after World Cups -- reshuffles in management, leadership, in the team and culture, and player personnel. Obviously you never get it right just like that. A mindset change isnt just one training session, it will always take time.Their latest fledgling at Twickenham will be Francois Venter, who has been handed his debut at outside centre, while four other players in the starting XV boast 12 caps or fewer.It means only six taking to the field this weekend were part of the South Africa side that stunned England 31-28 in this fixture two years ago and Coetzee hopes they draw upon those memories for inspiration.They have to, Coetzee said. Thats what Test rugby is about. Its about knowing what to do, about not being overawed by the crowd and the pressure of being in a Test match.England will be without injured duo Maro Itoje and George Kruis from their pack but Coetzee is not taking any extra encouragement from the absentees.England are a very good team, Coetzee said. Although they have the injuries to Itoje and Kruis, you still look at that pairing of Courtney Lawes and Joe Launchbury, [Dave] Attwood off the bench, its still a classy team and a team that has been together through the Six Nations and the tour of Australia.Theres a lot of continuity. This is what our players are really looking forward to -- playing against the second best team in world rugby today and measuring themselves against those players. ' ' '
