Things are looking mighty precarious for the Boston Celtics right now following a devastating 128-102 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Celtics now trail 3-0 in the series, a deficit that has never been overcome in NBA history.
The Celtics looked absolutely without answers Sunday evening. Boston’s defense was listless, though Miami deserves credit. As a team, the Heat shot 56.8% from the floor and 54.3% from the field. Though it was indeed an uninspired showing from the visiting team, Miami deserves credit for a relentless scoring attack. The Heat were dramatically the better team.
