| Avery Bradley's game winning three |
The Eastern Conference Finals shifted to The Land
last night for Game 3 as the Boston Celtics, playing without their leading
scorer and star point guard in Isaiah Thomas, were looking to stave off the
Cleveland Cavaliers and avoid going down 0 – 3 for the series, had a tall task
to tame, Alliteration, I Love It! The Cavs pretty much picked up where they
left off in Games 1 & 2, as they raced out to a 66 – 50 halftime lead. But
in the 2nd half, the Celtics on the advice of their head coach stated “if we
fight hard enough, they will let us back into this game” and that’s exactly
what happened as the Celtics kept knocking on the door and the Cavs let them
back in as Marcus Smart got the start and came up Big Time with 27 points and
he went for 7 for 10 from behind the arc and posted career best playoff numbers
in points, field goals at 8 and three point field goals at 7. But the Seal the
Deal Moment came in the waning seconds of the game as Avery Bradley’s three
danced around the rim before dropping through the net with less than a second
left and the Celtics upset the Cavaliers 111 – 108 to notch their first win of
the series. Kyrie Irvin, Kevin Love and Tristen Thompson each had a huge game
for the Cavs, but it was their leader in LeBron James who had one of his worst
playoff performances of his career and finished with just 11, a career low in
points at home in the playoffs, but he did contribute 6 rebounds and 6 assists
had this to say about his game….
Game 4 will be on Tuesday night and the Celtics now
have reason to believe they can tie up the series 2 games apiece.
