Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had big games but didn't get enough help from Kristap Porzingis, Derrick White, and Jrue Holiday. Can that turn around in Game 3 against the heat? On this special crossover edition, the hosts of Locked On Heat and Locked On Celtics come together to preview Saturday's big Game 3 in Miami. Wes Goldberg, David Ramil and John Karalis discuss the biggest storylines for each team including the pressure on the Celtics and whether Miami's Game 2 formula is repeatable before breaking down the adjustments they expect each team to make.

Boston Celtics Have the Edge in Game 3? Locked On Heat x Locked On Celtics Crossover

Miami hit more 3-pointers than they ever have in a playoff game, setting a team record to flip the script on Boston and win Game 2 in Boston. They won the 3-point battle by 33 and won by 10, making all the adjustments we expected and playing a nearly perfect game. Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown put up big numbers and got no help from anyone else, but it was Miami's defense that baited Boston's stars into playing how the Heat wanted. Still, John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal says it's no time to panic.

John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explains why, and then gets into why Joe Mazzulla is more concerned about his team just doing what they did all over again. Plus, Erik Spoelstra acknowledges his team needs to shoot more 3-pointers, but are they capable of shooting enough to make a difference? What kind of defensive trick might they try to slow Boston's shooting down?
