Boston Celtics Surge Past Miami Heat in Game 3, Takes Commanding Lead in Eastern Conference First Round Series

The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics faced off in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round series at the Kaseya Center on Saturday night. Despite losing Game 2, the Celtics delivered a strong performance to take a commanding 2-1 lead. The Heat will be without Terry Rozier due to a neck spasm, but Delon Wright is expected to return after missing Game 3 for personal reasons.

Meanwhile, Luke Kornet, who had been out with a right calf strain, returned to the court in Game 3 and contributed alongside Al Horford. The Celtics led for the entire game, holding the Heat to just 32.1% shooting from beyond the arc and capitalizing on turnovers to build a significant lead.

As they look ahead to Game 4, both teams are benefiting from clean injury reports. However, this is not enough for either team as they know that they need to stay focused and continue executing at a high level in order to secure victory over each other.
