At first glance Saturday, it looked like we were in store for a third straight blowout in the Eastern Conference finals.
Though the Celtics eventually climbed out of a 26-point hole, the Miami Heat held on to take a 2-1 series lead over Boston headed into Monday’s Game 4 at TD Garden.
A win there is critical for the Celtics, otherwise they’ll have to travel to Miami and try to battle out of a 3-1 deficit in order to keep their Finals hopes alive. If they open up the game like they did Saturday, that’s going to be a tough task.
