Celtics Cruise to Game 3 Victory over Cavaliers

Tatum and Brown Lead Comeback in Cleveland

After a disappointing Game 2 loss at home, the Boston Celtics bounced back with an impressive road victory in Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Led by a dominant performance from Jayson Tatum and a strong supporting cast, the Celtics secured a 120-113 win, reducing the series deficit to 1-2.

Tatum's Scoring Surge

Tatum was unstoppable in Game 3, pouring in a team-high 33 points on 13-of-22 shooting. He also contributed 10 rebounds and 5 assists, showcasing his all-around impact. Tatum's efficient shooting and aggressive drives to the basket kept the Cavaliers defense on their heels throughout the game.

Brown's Defensive Intensity

Jaylen Brown complemented Tatum's offensive outburst with a stellar defensive performance. Brown drew the assignment of guarding Darius Garland, the Cavaliers' leading scorer in Game 2. Brown's relentless on-ball pressure and anticipation forced Garland into multiple turnovers and held him to just 14 points, well below his average.

White's Outside Shooting

Derrick White continued his hot shooting from deep, knocking down 4 three-pointers on 8 attempts. White's timely shooting provided a much-needed boost to the Celtics' offense and helped open up the floor for Tatum and Brown to operate inside.

The Celtics' victory in Game 3 is a testament to their resilience and determination. With the series shifting back to Boston for Game 4, the Celtics will look to capitalize on their momentum and tie the series.
