BOSTON (CBS) — The Celtics faced daunting odds Friday as they prepared to comeback from a 2-0 series hole on the road in Chicago. However, the team received some inspiration from an unlikely source prior to Game 3: former Celtic Kevin Garnett.

The future Hall of Famer recorded an inspirational message for his former franchise during the week, which made its way to the team through long-time team trainer Ed Lacerte. Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley both got a sneak preview of the message on Thursday and Thomas had the idea to play it for the team in the locker rroom before Game 3 in Chicago.
