After a disappointing Game 2 effort on Wednesday night, the Celtics bounced back in the perfect way, defeating the Miami Heat 104-84 in Game 3.

Boston's defense was the story of the night, limiting Miami to 84 points on 41.6% shooting.

After Miami knocked down a franchise record 23 three-pointers in Game 2, the Celtics held them to just 9/28 from long range in tonight's contest.

The story of the night on the offensive end was balance, as four of the five starters scored at least 16 points.

Trouble-0-7 were joint top scorers in the game, with Jaylen Brown recording 22 points and 8 rebounds on 11/20 shooting and Jayson Tatum adding 22 of his own points to go along with 11 rebounds and 6 assists.
