The Boston Celtics.

Looked like they might blow it for a second there, but they held on in a game that they largely outplayed the Dallas Mavericks pretty significantly to take a 3-0 lead in the NBA finals in the absence of

Chris House Porzingus their defensive strategy still worked quite well and

they got just enough offense at the end of the game to pull it out and in all likelihood

we'll take Banner number is it 18 it is 18 right I believe it's 18 yeah yeah well we'll have to look that up by Friday. So yeah, what was your big

impressions here? This was a blowout in a close game's clothing and I don't I'm not necessarily focused

as much on the Dallas had this hot start they went up

I believe the largest the margin was I was 25 to 12 but it was also 22 nine so it was 13

twice and then and that all counts you know all that but that was

Kyrie being really hot luka had a really strong moment just like he did at the beginning of game two

after he had the pain-killing injection as reported and then after that Boston settled in the defense which fantastic and I think that's the the story to me of game three is that even without Christops Porzingus, the Dallas Mavericks,

other than this wild stretch of the fourth

that we will discuss,

they cannot score sufficiently on the Boston Celtics

to be competitive,

as competitive as they need to be in the series.

And again, Dallas, maybe could have won this game.

They themselves were competitive for all the game,

other than the third quarter, much like in game one

where it was the first quarter that did them in.

But yeah, except for that stretch right at the end, which I view is aberrational, and they're up 3-0,

so it's not going to matter whether it's an aberration or not at this point
