The Boston Celtics re-asserted themselves at Kaseya Center in Game 3 against the Heat on Saturday night — holding Miami to a season-low 84 points in what was a convincing 104-84 win.
It was a welcome result for the Celtics, who drew plenty of criticism after dropping Game 2 at TD Garden, 111-101, on Wednesday night against a Heat team missing two of its top players in Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier.
Boston will have a chance to build itself a commanding 3-1 advantage in this best-of-seven series on Monday night, but Miami forward Kevin Love hinted that his team has the proper adjustments in place to counter the top-seeded Celtics.
