COMMENTARY
Despite what the red, white, and blue confetti scattered throughout the Well Fargo Center may suggest, the Celtics got their first road win of the postseason Saturday.
In a wild Game 3 that saw 15 lead changes — including eight ties in the fourth quarter alone — Boston prevailed for a 101-98 overtime victory to take a 3-0 series lead over Philadelphia.
76ers guard Marco Belinelli nailed a desperation two-pointer from the corner to tie the game — and trigger confetti — at the end of regulation, but he couldn’t connect on a three-point heave in the final seconds of overtime to save his team a second time.
