The Boston Celtics made the trip to Ohio to play the Cleveland Cavaliers at their home arena of Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series Saturday (May 11) night with revenge on their mind after an embarrassing Game 2 loss at TD Garden on Thursday night.
The series tied up at one game apiece, the Celtics now have to face a hostile crowd without the benefit of home court advantage. Add in the return of forward Dean Wade making his return to the court after having been out since early March with a sprained right knee, and Boston stepped on the court with a tall order to fill in Cleveland.
And almost from the tip, both teams were on the attack.
