The Heat survived the Celtics 109-108. Every possession went the Heat way. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
