Celtics Continue Charge Towards NBA Finals
Celtics Defeat Cavs, Advance in Playoffs
Boston's Top-Seeded Team Edges Out Cleveland
The Boston Celtics, the top seed in the Eastern Conference, continued their dominant run in the NBA playoffs on Wednesday night, defeating the shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers 107-99 in Game 3 of their second-round series.
With the win, the Celtics took a 3-0 lead in the series and moved one step closer to reaching the NBA Finals. Jayson Tatum led the way for Boston with 25 points and 10 rebounds, while Jaylen Brown added 24 points and 6 rebounds.
The Cavaliers, who were without All-Star guard Darius Garland, were led by Donovan Mitchell's 30 points. However, Mitchell's efforts were not enough to overcome the Celtics' balanced attack.
The Celtics will now have a chance to close out the series in Game 4 on Friday night in Cleveland. If they are successful, they will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the third time in the past four years.
Conclusion: The Celtics' victory over the Cavaliers is a testament to their depth and resilience. Even without two of their key players, the Celtics were able to grind out a win on the road against a talented opponent. Their performance in Game 3 is a reminder that they are one of the most dangerous teams in the NBA and are a legitimate contender to win the championship.
