The Boston Celtics Look To even up the Series against the Miami Heat
The Boston Celtics Look To even up the Series against the Miami HeatThe Boston Celtics looked horrible in two losses in Miami to start the season, but they looked better in game three at Boston.


With Celtics guard Rajon Rondo pushing through a dislocated left elbow to close with 11 assists, Boston put together its grittiest performance of the best-of-seven series to move within 2-1 of the Heat. With LeBron James shooting just 6 of 16 from the field and Chris Bosh limited to just six points and five rebounds, the Heat were unable to offset 28 points from Celtics power forward Kevin Garnett and 27 from Boston small forward Paul Pierce.

With increased media inspection of the Heat in this Eastern Conference semifinal, a bit more insight has been shed on why LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have handled their interviews together, while Chris Bosh, the third member of the Heat's Big Three has opted to go it alone.

So the two decided presenting a common front made sense, particularly when one was being questioned about the other so often. Now there is a united front.

For Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, this series against the Celtics has provided a grueling two-way challenge, with Wade defending Ray Allen and James guarding Paul Pierce.

"This time of the year," James said, "you've got to do whatever it takes, honestly. When you're a competitor, you know you're going to have to play both sides of the floor. There's no easy way out in the playoffs. There's no matchups out there where you can just have a rest.

The Heat realize that if they want to take down the Celtics in this series, winning a game in Boston would help their cause.
