The Boston Celtics hope to continue their perimeter-based assault on the Philadelphia 76ers when the Atlantic Division rivals meet in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series Friday night in the NBA bubble near Orlando.
The third-seeded Celtics have outscored the sixth-seeded 76ers 87-42 from beyond the 3-point arc in running up a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series being played at a neutral site.
Boston has won the games 109-101 and 128-101.
Jayson Tatum has averaged 32.5 points and Jaylen Brown 24.5 for Boston. As the 76ers have focused defenders on stopping the high-scoring players, other Celtics have been able to take advantage of their opportunities, guard Kemba Walker noted after Wednesday's win.
