The Nets appeared to be on their way to a first-round sweep after winning by double-digits in Games 1 and 2. James Harden and Kevin Durant showed out in Game 3 and combined for 80 of Brooklyn’s 119 points, but Kyrie Irving struggled in his return to TD Garden. Irving scored 16 points on 6-of-17 shooting, and the Nets shot 45% from the field as a team in a 125-119 loss. Brooke's big three will look to end its road trip on a high note before returning home for Game 5.
Jayson Tatum finally woke up in Game 3 after shooting 28% from the field in the first two matchups of the series. He scored 50 points to go along with 6 rebounds and 7 assists en route to the Celtics’ first win of the series. Kemba Walker was ice cold and scored 6 points on 3-of-14 shooting, but the rest of Boston’s starters — Evan Fournier, Tristan Thompson, and Marcus Smart — tallied at least 17 points apiece. The Celtics will need major contributions from more than Tatum and Walker to keep up with Brooklyn on offense. Taking advantage of home-court advantage will be key to extending the series.
