Boston bounces back again: 13 Takeaways from Celtics-Warriors NBA Finals Game 3

1. Boston bounces back. It’s what they do.

Sometimes it’s from game-to-game, but sometimes it happens in-game too.

There were two stretches where the Boston Celtics took the Golden State Warriors best punches in Game 3. They settled down, refocused and took back control of the game.

Midway through the second quarter, the Celtics had a 17-point lead. Al Horford very uncharacteristically missed two free throws. That started a rough stretch for Boston that went:

· Klay Thompson three-pointer

· Jayson Tatum missed floater

· Andrew Wiggins dunk

· Marcus Smart turnover

· Stephen Curry three-pointer

Ime Udoka called a timeout and got everyone settled down.
