Celtics got no problems with handling the Heat
Throughout the regular season, Miami has shown just how deep their squad runs, and Game 3 was another such instance. With their top scorer out, Bam Adebayo stepped up big time, surpassing his entire series’ tally in just one game. It is tough for any team to contain them, as they have such lethal weapons in all corners of the floor. However, it seems the Celtics have the formula figured out with a 29-11 first quarter display.
Jayson Tatum scored 12 of the 29 points himself and fans reacted to the shocking turn of events.

On the other hand, it has been a night to forget for the Miami Heat. With no starter scoring in double digits (Bam is leading the way with just 9 points), all the players have struggled to make their own plays. They suffered a big blow with Sixth Man of The Year, Tyler Herro, missing out. However, Victor Oladipo filled in well, scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists off the bench so far. As for the starters, Tucker and Struss are yet to get on the board.
