The Heat responded to an 0-2 start in Las Vegas with a 100-96 win over the Boston Celtics' summer squad on Monday at the Pavilion on UNLV's campus. The Heat found itself trailing by four points with 1:53 to play, but closed the game on a 13-5 run to rally for the victory.

The upshot of the Heat’s summer-league victory Monday night against the Celtics was that meaningful boxes were checked off.

But Ware has been underwhelming through his first three summer league appearances, averaging 12 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game while shooting 13 of 33 (39.4 percent) from the field and 1 of 10 (10 percent) from three-point range in those games.
