The previous game saw the Celtics struggle from beyond the arc, hitting only 26 percent of their three-point attempts. Despite this setback, they managed an impressive 50 percent shooting from two-point range and dominated the boards with a total of 59 rebounds. Their bench contributed significantly with 51 points but turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 15 times which translated into points for Miami.


The Heat's performance was nothing short of spectacular in Game 3; they shot an astounding 54 percent from three-point land and maintained an effective field goal percentage of nearly 69 percent. Their bench also showed depth by contributing a solid 55 points. With such high efficiency on offense, it's clear that Miami is firing on all cylinders.


However, it would be unwise to count out the Celtics just yet. They have shown resilience throughout this season and possess one of the best records in their conference with a tally of wins standing tall at 57 against only losses numbering at merely half that figure – showcasing their ability to bounce back after setbacks.


Boston must focus on improving its perimeter defense and limiting turnovers if they wish to contain Miami's explosive offense. The team has demonstrated time and again that they can control games through sheer tenacity and strategic execution – qualities that will be essential come game time.


Looking ahead to May’s confrontation between these two titans of basketball, one thing is certain: fans can expect both teams to leave everything on the court as they battle for supremacy. The upcoming game scheduled for May is set for tip-off at precisely half-past eight PM Eastern Time (ET) at Kaseya Center located within sunny Miami’s city limits under zip code area number starting with digits three-three-one-three-two.


Fans won't want to miss this clash which will be broadcast nationally via TNT channel number two-four-five; it promises all ingredients necessary for an unforgettable night filled with high-octane basketball action!
