NBA Finals Game 3: Can Celtics avoid another 3rd quarter disaster and bounce back at home vs. Warriors?

TV: ESPN, 9 p.m. ET

The NBA Finals are all tied up as the series heads to Boston for the first time, which is about as good as the Celtics could have hoped for beyond a 2-0 series lead.

Though they’ve yet to drop consecutive games this postseason, things didn’t go great for the Celtics in the back half of Game 2. The Warriors erupted in the third quarter before pulling off a 19-point blowout win that shut down the Celtics.

Wednesday’s game isn’t a must-win for Boston by any means but failing to bounce back after a tough loss to the Warriors could prove to be fatal and may result in a quick ending to the Finals.
