After two initial victories in Boston, Miami dealt an almost final blow to the Celtics in front of their fans this Sunday, since neither team has managed to overcome a 3-0 deficit in a playoff tie.
The Los Angeles Lakers, the most successful team in history along with the Celtics, are also on the brink of the precipice with a 3-0 aggregate down in the Western final once morest the Denver Nuggets.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the stars of Boston, will have to regain their confidence once morest the clock following their mediocre performance on Sundayin which they stayed at 14 and 12 points, respectively.

“I don’t even know where to start. It’s an obvious disappointment, we’ve let our fans down, the organization, ourselves, and it’s been collective. We might point fingers but it’s actually been embarrassing,” Brown admitted. , who missed all seven of his 3-point attempts and has a staggering 2/20 stat in the series.
“As hard as it has been tonight, we have to get through it and be ready,” Tatum demanded in his turn. “Obviously we’re in a tough position, but we’ve got to get some pride out there and bounce back.”
