What a perfect start for the Heat. Lowry playing well, Bam engaged, going 3-for-3 from 3-point range and forcing three turnovers for four quick points. Miami up 24-7 halfway through the first, and the crowd here has been shocked into silence. – 8:57 PM

Heat’s defense to offense transition is just awesome to start this game. With Lowry back and Bam playing well plus Jimmy, that’s all 3 positions pushing it up the floor.
(As you can tell, I love watching Miami play.) – 8:54 PM

Gabe Vincent in as sixth man, giving Lowry an early breather. Spoelstra said this would not be a 40-minute game for Lowry. – 8:54 PM

Heat needed a strong start from Bam — and they’ve gotten it. He’s 4-for-5 from the field and has been much more aggressive offensively. Lowry has provided a stabilizing presence on both ends of the floor and seems to be moving well. – 8:52 PM

Immediate impact for Heat with Kyle Lowry back in the starting lineup for Heat. Dictating pace, finding open shooters, hitting a 3, controlling offense, pressuring D. – 8:50 PM

A great start for the Heat, not just because they lead 16-4, but Kyle Lowry looks fantastic. Has setup a couple buckets, buried a 3, has Miami playing quicker and getting up the court faster. Couldn’t have asked for more to start this game. – 8:50 PM

Lowry make such a different pace-wise. No excuse for Boston to give up that Butler layup in transition but Lowry is always looking for that kind of play. That’s a much different element now than G1 or 2 – 8:47 PM

Jimmy Butler running off a make, Lowry gets the inbound & hits him with the perfect kick ahead. The JBs on both sides of this series often control the flow of the game with their leak outs in transition and Butler is setting the tone early creating fast breaks out of nothing. – 8:46 PM

Encouraging start for Kyle Lowry. Grabbing rebounds. On time with switches. Had one glitch trying to find Bam but got Butler on the hit-ahead after a Celtics make. – 8:46 PM

The return of Kyle Lowry will be a fascinating subplot to both this game, and this series. If Lowry looks like he did against Philadelphia last round, he won’t offer much help. But if he can be close to 100 percent, it offers the Heat a route back into this series. – 8:40 PM

The starting lineup that is back intact for Heat tonight – Butler, Tucker, Bam, Lowry, Strus – has outscored teams by 49 points in a combined 111 minutes as a quintet this year (regular season and playoffs). They’ve shot an impressive 39 for 80 as a unit on threes. – 8:18 PM

Lowry and Tucker both on the court shooting at the moment. Shooting like they mean it. But have not seen any attempt at sharp movements by Lowry. But he just made seven consecutive threes, so there’s that. – 7:51 PM

I know there was the report from Woj about Lowry possibly coming off the bench
But it feels like that’s just adding another guy to take the ball out of Herro’s hands when he enters
Personally feel it’s the usual starting lineup with Lowry tonight
Plus Bam needs him right now – 11:42 AM
