NBA Eastern Conference finals Game 3: Heat's Bam Adebayo needs to respond vs. Celtics

TV: ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET

Time for a close game?

The first two games of the Eastern Conference finals have been blowouts. Now that the series is headed to Boston for the first time, it might finally be time for a close game.

Boston responded perfectly to an 0-1 series deficit on Thursday night. The Celtics rolled to a dominant 127-102 win in Game 2 to even the series. While Miami may have been stunned by the return of Marcus Smart and Al Horford, it’s hard to see Game 3 shaking out like Game 2, even with it taking place at TD Garden.
