Cardiac Celtics Part III: first ‘clutch time’ playoff game wasn’t fun

After almost three weeks, we are officially back on the “Cardiac Celtics” train. Boston was able to take a 3-1 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, but it was far from pretty.

Spectators had to strap in for what turned out to be an absolute rollercoaster of a game, despite Donovan Mitchell being out for the Cavs with a calf strain.

Thankfully, there hasn’t been a whole lot of tomfoolery since Game 2 of the Miami series (yes, Game 2 against Cleveland was bad, but it was more like ripping a band-aid off), so we haven’t had to sweat too much.
