The Celtics currently hold a 2-1 series lead over the Cavaliers, as they won 106-93 in game 3 on Saturday. During their victory, both star players for the Celtics performed at a high-level. Forward Jayson Tatum played his best game of the entire series, scoring a team-high 33 points. Tatum’s costar, Jaylen Brown, has played well throughout the series and continued that trend with 28 points in game 3.
The Celtics also had a lot of help on Saturday from one of their role players, Jrue Holiday. He finished with 18 points, which is a playoff-high for him this season.
Throughout this postseason, the Cavaliers have struggled with consistently scoring on offense. They are currently averaging less than 98 points per game this postseason, making them the worst scoring team out of all remaining playoff teams. To contextualize that statistic, the Cavaliers have only scored more than 100 points during three postseason games this year.
Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell has tried to carry his team’s offense this postseason, but he is playing against one of the best offenses in the NBA. Mitchell scored 33 points during the game 3 loss, which matched Tatum’s scoring output. However, Mitchell has not received much offensive help from his teammates. The second-leading scorer for the Cavaliers during game 3 was their center Evan Mobley, who finished with 17 points. Since the Celtics have a two-headed monster on offense, the Cavaliers need a couple of players to assist Mitchell by scoring at least 20 points tonight.
This matchup will be imperative for the Cavaliers to win because they need to avoid a 3-1 series deficit, especially with game 5 being played in Boston.
