In a game where the Celtics were up 12pts at halftime, the Celtics grinded out a win after another horrible 3rd quarter performance. It's hard to say they grinded out a116-100 win but this was as grind it out as it gets considering how great we played for 3 of the 4 quarters but that 3rd quarter was brutal. This win is everything you want to see though. They continued to show their resiliency and we saw team ball once again. Both of the Jays showed up and played great today.

Despite Marcus Smart having a couple of boneheaded turnovers, he also contributed in a major way coming up with clutch loose balls per usual but also hitting a couple massively important shots including a huge stretch to end the first half. After the big 3, we finally saw a Timelord game. He looked back to normal and got back to his super efficient rebounding numbers but also added in 4 blocks while fighting over some tough screens. There really isn't much to say from a negative perspective in this one.

They cleaned up the turnover a bit but when they did turn the ball over, they were all live ball turnovers that led to points so that still needs to be a point of emphasis for them. They still need to fix the damn free throw shooting. but other than that, they did a great job cleaning up the glass tonight. Those are the 3 keys to game 4. Control the glass, limit the turnovers and hit your free throws. Do those 3 things and they can walk out of the Garden on Friday up 3-1 with only 1 win remaining before Banner 18.
