Duncan Robinson sets up to take the charge, but trips up teammate Kyle Lowry instead.
The Boston Celtics rolled the Miami Heat on Thursday, winning 95-78, but both teams took a lineup loss late in the game.
Boston’s Jaylen Brown headed to the locker room after the third quarter and was soon diagnosed with hamstring tightness, and Miami’s Kyle Lowry was tripped up by Duncan Robinson, exiting with a sprained left anke.
