Players and defensive highlights from BIG win in G3 as C's came back from 21 points (videos)



Marcus Smart played probably one of the best games of his young career, going for 27 points on 7-for-10 shooting from deep! Smart was hot all night and came up big with Isaiah Thomas being sidelined. Celtics guard added five rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block to his total, being the best Boston player on the floor on Sunday night.

Avery Bradley scored 20 points, including a game-winning three with 0.1 left on the clock! Bradley hitting that three felt like a flashback to 2015/16 season when A.B. drilled a game-winner to Cavs face as well. Clutch!


Jae Crowder finished the game with double-double, postin 14 points to go along with 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals. Solid game for Crowder who surprisingly won the matchup with James. LeBron for the seconds time in his career went scoreless in the fourth quarter and got only 11 points on the night.


Jonas Jerebko finally got some playing time and he made the most out of it! Jonas played with unbeliveable energy, providing great spark for the Celtics and was team-high plus-22 in just 13 minutes on court. Jerebko finished the game with 10 points on perfect 4-for-4 shooting (including 2-for-2 from downtown) and five rebounds. What a great game for our Swedish guy!


Al Horford got 16 points and six dimes on the night, hitting some big shots in the game although it wasn't his best game of this postseason. Still, Big Al managed to contribute for the Celtics and was very pumped up after the game while speaking to Abby Chin.


Kelly Olynyk played huge role for the Celtics, scoring 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting and was team's high scorer off the bench. Kelly was plus-15 in 23 minutes of play.


Boston Celtics defense really stepped up for G3, especially in the second half of the game as Cavs went cold after another great offensive first half. Jae Crowder played some great defense on LeBron and rest of his teammates helped all the way so the Celtics make sure they will be back in the TD Garden this season at least one more time.
