The Boston Celtics are on the precipice, but they still have a shot.
Now down three games to one against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics will have to win three games in a row to come out on top and advance to the 2020 NBA Finals.
A big part of the reason for the loss was All-NBA small forward Jayson Tatum’s scoreless first half, though he would put up 28 points in the second half to go with his 9 rebounds, 4 assists, steal and 3 blocks.
Forward Jaylen Brown added 21 points, 9 boards, a steal and a block, while Kemba Walker added 20 points and 5 assists.
New dad (again) Gordon Hayward didn’t have the best night of his career, but he did put up a solid 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the loss.
