For the 22nd time in their illustrious franchise history, the Celtics will host an NBA Finals game.

Game 3 of the Finals matchup featuring the Golden State Warriors will tip off on Wednesday from the TD Garden in Boston. In the postseason, the Celtics are just 5-4 at home as homecourt advantage hasn't really been a deciding factor for Boston throughout their run to the Finals.

But for the Celtics, those losses at home and the overall experience they gained in the postseason has prepared them for the challenge of the Finals.

"We've been tested well in the playoffs," Celtics coach Ime Udoka said before Game 2 on Sunday. "I think we respond well, and whether our backs are against the wall or coming out, we've played extremely well on the road. So all those things are signs of growth. Honestly, we have a 'don't care' mentality about it: whatever happens, happens. Whatever the situation is, we are going to try to play the same, and whether we are up one or down one, or up one with a chance to go up two, I think the same mentality that we keep shows growth and progress overall with our team."
