Celtics tighten up on defense to beat Heat 104-84 in Game 3

MIAMI — The final quarter of Game 3 saw a return to where the Celtics and Heat stood late in Game 1. Boston approached a 30-point lead, Caleb Martin spatted with members of the Celtics after only putting three points on the board and a further short-handed Heat team sat at 32.1% from three with 28 attempts. Boston’s offensive rebounding, fast break and 62% shooting inside the arc devastated them as they turned to deep reserves.

Earlier, Al Horford snuck a full court pass to Derrick White from baseline to baseline past all of the Heat’s defenders.
