Celtics take 3-0 series lead as Jayson Tatum's 39 points powers Boston to 109-103 win
Jayson Tatum and the Celtics were too much for the Nets Saturday night in Brooklyn. Every time the Nets tried to make a run, the Celtics would respond with a big time steal, stop, or basket.
Jaylen Brown assded 23 points to compiment Tatum's game high 39 points. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both underwhelmed again each only scoring 16 points in a must win game. Then again credit the Celtics defense as well for those numbers.

Udoka on Bruce Brown scoring: "That's something we'll live over Kyrie and Durant (scoring)." #Celtics know they have to give up something, if Brown's taking shot attempts from KD and Kyrie, BOS will take it.
