The Boston Celtics were down 16 at half and even saw the deficit hit the 20s, but that didn’t deter them. Even though they were without their leading scorer, Isaiah Thomas, they put up 111 points to win 111-108 Sunday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Marcus Smart led the way with 27 points in thanks to his seven three-pointers. Jae Crowder recorded a double double (14 points and 11 rebounds) while Jonas Jerebko’s unlikely 10 points off the bench were huge in the come back.
LeBron James struggled only scoring 11 points and going 4-13 from the field. He will be more than ready to go in game four we’re sure of that. That game will be played Tuesday night in Cleveland on TNT at 8:30pm Eastern.
