Brooklyn protected home court advantage to take a 2-0 lead in the series, and now it’s time to erase the Celtics’ hopes of making a comeback as they head to TD Garden for Game 3. Fittingly so, they will have to do it while also sucking the life out of the Garden because those fans will definitely bring some much needed energy for Boston.
It will be difficult for the Celtics to match their crowd’s energy if the Nets shoot the ball like how they did in Game 2, specifically Joe Harris. They shot it at 52 percent while Joe Harris came out scorching hot to end his game shooting 64 percent. Kevin Durant also came out shooting from all cylinders, going 8-for-12 from the field to make it 67 percent shooting for his night.
Steve Nash will be without Jeff Green after he suffered a plantar fascia in Game 2. He will join Spencer Dinwiddie for Nets players that are unavailable. The Celtics will be without Jaylen Brown of course, but Kemba Walker may join him because of a left knee medial bone bruise. He is listed a questionable. Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
- Date: Friday, May 28
