The Boston Celtics must turn the page from a Game 2 dud to reclaim a series lead over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Philadelphia evened the first-round matchup with a 111-97 road upset on Tuesday. Perimeter shooting betrayed the Celtics, who made 13 of 50 attempts from three-point range while the 76ers went 19-of-39 from downtown.
Prior to Friday's Game 3, per CLNS Media Boston Sports Network, Quentin Grimes acknowledged that the Celtics didn't play to their standards on Tuesday. The 76ers guard expects a hungry opponent at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
"We know they didn't play as well as they usually played all season," Grimes said. "Guys didn't make shots. We also played well ourselves, so you got to be conscious and know that they're gonna make adjustments, and we have to be ready for those counters as well."
