Your Morning Dump... Where defensive adjustments are a must!

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

The Celtics looked awful and overwhelmed in Game 3, as Cleveland was able to get its shooters going and defended more aggressively, taking Jaylen Brown and Al Horford completely out of the game en route to a 30-point win.

So, quite understandably, the onus is on Boston coach Brad Stevens to make the necessary adjustments to extend Game 4 until the fourth quarter. The Celtics were buried by halftime of Game 3.
