The Boston Celtics, emerged victorious with a commanding 104-84 win in Game 3 of CELTICS Vs HEAT. After a surprising Game 2 loss, the Celtics answered the call, reclaiming their dominance and taking a 2-1 series lead.

Complementing Tatum’s all-around brilliance, Brown added 23 points, making crucial contributions on both ends of the floor.
The Heat, missing key players Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier due to injuries, struggled to find their rhythm offensively. Tyler Herro, coming off a stellar performance in Game 2, was held to just 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting.
Miami’s inability to generate offense against Boston’s stifling defense proved to be their downfall.
