After instant classics in Games 1 and 2, the Celtics look to build a 3-0 series lead as things shift to Brooklyn.
In Game 1, it was a Jayson Tatum buzzer-beater that capped off a thriller. In Game 2, the Celtics put on a defensive masterclass, slowing down Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to complete a comeback after trailing by as many as 17 points.

As the series shifts to Brooklyn for Game 3, the Nets' star duo will look to bounce back in order to avoid falling into the historically insurmountable 3-0 series deficit.
Adding a layer of difficulty to the Nets' comeback plan is the report that Celtics center Robert Williams III is planning to return to action in Game 3 after undergoing surgery to repair his meniscus in late March. With Williams, Boston's scary defense gets even scarier.
