Boston Celtics react to their crucial Game 3 win over Heat on Twitter

The Boston Celtics were especially ebullient on social media after their Game 3 win over the Miami Heat on Saturday.

The Boston Celtics were in good spirits Saturday evening, and for good reason.

They’d just won a critical Game 3 against the Miami Heat in their Eastern Conference series with that team after dropping the first two games of the series, and the return of veteran forward Gordon Hayward was no small part of the reason why.

Moreover, the Butler product made it clear he was there for the long haul, fortifying the team’s chances for continuing their deep run into the NBA Finals.

And no one was happier than Hayward himself, who posted about the team’s win on Twitter, noting how it felt “great to be back out there” in the “[g]ood team win”.

Enes Kanter got in on the action, poking fun at an overblown postgame-blowout following the team’s Game 2 loss to the Heat on Thursday with a clip of Marcus Smart and Kemba Walker being goofy:

Teammate Marcus Smart — at the center of a postgame-blowout — seemed ebullient as well.

Reposting the clip retweeted by Kanter of himself as if to underscore the team’s unity, Smart echoed Hayward’s support for the team win while welcoming his teammate back.

However it wasn’t all good feelings, as Kanter noticed his original celebratory tweet had been blocked in his home country, the president of whom he has had a longstanding feud with.

If there’s any takeaways from these exchanges, it’s that the postgame tiff was indeed merely a family fighting over how to best take care of business, that Boston will continue being outspoken on the things they care most about, and Gordon Hayward — and the Celtics title hopes — are back.
