It’s never optimal to have to watch Boston Celtics alumni in the NBA Finals without the Celtics being in it with them, but if it involves them beating Boston’s longtime rival Los Angeles Lakers, it becomes at least a little more palatable.
And that’s exactly what happened in Game 3 of the 2020 NBA Finals, with the Los Angeles Lakers getting their first loss of the series with former Celtic forward Jae Crowder hanging 12 points, 8 rebounds and an assist on the Lake show in the win.
He spoke with ESPN’s Michael Eaves on Sportscenter after the victory, sharing his thoughts on teammate Jimmy Butler’s crucial triple double.
“I felt like we just came out together and started the game in the right way. I think we tried to impose our will,” offered Crowder to start the interview.
Watch the clip embedded above to hear everything the Celtics alumnus has to say about beating Los Angeles in Game 3.
