The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics faced off at the Kaseya Center on Saturday night in a highly anticipated Game 3 of their playoff series. With the score tied 1-1, both teams were eager to gain a competitive advantage.
In the end, it was the Celtics who emerged victorious, taking a commanding 2-1 lead over the Heat with a 104-84 win. The Celtics had to wait for this opportunity after losing Game 2, but their perseverance paid off as they dominated the game from start to finish.
The Celtics led from wire to wire, holding the Heat to just 32.1% shooting from beyond the arc and capitalizing on turnovers to build a significant lead. Al Horford and Luke Kornet played crucial roles in the team’s success, with Kornet returning to action after missing Game 2 with a right calf strain.
As they prepare for Game 4, both teams are dealing with injuries. Terry Rozier is out due to a neck spasm, while Delon Wright is expected to be back in action after missing Game 3 for personal reasons. The Celtics will need to stay focused and continue executing at a high level if they want to maintain their lead in the series and ultimately come out on top against the Heat.
Game 4 is set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. EST at the Kaseya Center.
