NBA Playoffs 2017: Celtics vs. Wizards Game 3 live stream: Watch online
After a 53-point outing by Isaiah Thomas, the Wizards look to bounce back at home in Game 3. Here’s how to watch online.
It goes without being said that Isaiah Thomas is playing like a man possessed. Thomas has been on a mission that is keeping him balanced through personal struggles off the court. With him going for 53 points in Game 2’s overtime win on Tuesday, it’s been six games straight of Celtics dominance.
Utilizing the pick-and-roll, combined with great floor spacing the Celtics shot 51.1 percent from the field and hit 36 percent from the 3-point line. With a slew of shooters from downtown in Kelly Olynk, Avery Bradley,and Al Horford, the Wizards failed to close out on shooters in Games 1 and 2, and the Celtics made them pay.
On the opposing side, the Wizards are going as far as John Wall is able to carry them. Losing his legs by overtime, the wear and tear on Wall’s body is starting to show. Putting up 40 points should be more than enough to win when leading your team, but Wall’s supporting cast has underperformed thus far. Sidekick Bradley Beal will need to shine brightly in Game 3 at home, going 1-for-9 from the 3-point line in Game 2.
