After the loss at home in Game 2, the Celtics managed to regroup and played a fantastic first game in Miami, which they won convincingly by 104:84. Bam Adebayo once again was the best player for his team with 20 points and 9 rebounds.
“I don’t think we really brought that dog like we did in Game 2 when it was set the tone from the jump. We didn’t do that. Obviously, when you don’t have that dog mentality, you can get blown out by 20. It’s going to be a physical series. This is the Miami Heat versus Boston Celtics. It’s going to be a battle. It’s going to be a dogfight. If you don’t bring that dog, this is what happens,” Adebayo said.
Game 4 of this series will be played on Tuesday morning, starting at 01:30.
