C Aron Baynes matched his career high with 21 points and added eight rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's 107-96 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. "Aron was great," coach Brad Stevens said.

"Those rims are friendly," said Dragic, who had two tours of duty with the Suns before being traded to the Heat in 2015. "I've played a lot of games here, and you feel comfortable. It definitely helps. You want to play well anywhere you used to be, especially Phoenix because I loved the city."

I never shy away from it and I never will," Waiters said. "When you have a coach that trusts you are going to make the right play in those situations, it's a lot easier."

G Nick Young scored 12 points, hitting 3 of 9 3-pointers. He also added five assists and four steals. "With KD out, we needed someone to step up," forward Draymond Green said.
