1. The Boston Celtics played Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers with an attack mindset. Outside of a brief period in the fourth quarter, Boston did everything with great purpose. They pushed the ball, defended high and hard and stayed aggressive all game.
On offense, the goal was to get the ball up the floor and either get something in transition, or to at least not let Philadelphia set their defense. On the other end, Boston engaged the Sixers ballhandlers at, or often, behind midcourt. And the bigs stayed attached to their opposite numbers all game.
