Heat vs Celtics live stream: How to watch game 3 of NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals online

Tonight finds Boston breathing a bit easier at home entering the Heat vs Celtics live stream. After going down 0-1 in game 1, the Celtics managed to regain key players who made sure they were going home with a tie series for two more NBA playoffs live streams at home. Next game: Game 3, Miami @ Boston at 8.30 p.m. ET today (Saturday, May 21). Where to watch in the U.S.: The Heat vs Celtics game is set to air on ABC and ESPN3. ESPN3 is available on Sling TV , currently on sale at 50% off for the first month . Watch from anywhere: with ExpressVPN . The Celtics basically won game 2 in the first half, but after being down to start. Trailing by 10 (18-8), Boston managed to score 56 points in 31 possessions. This is a remarkable efficiency and a failing of Miami’s defense. They finished the first half with 70 points, 25 above Miami’s 45. One of the biggest names of game 2 was Boston’s Marcus Smart, who was returning from a foot sprain — but still managed to almost field a triple-double (24 points, nine rebounds, 12 assists). He even played over 40 minutes (longer than any of his teammates). Jayson Tatum (27 points) and Jaylen Brown (24 points) also contributed heavily. Jimmy Butler (29 points) was just not enough for Miami, which is now down one P.J. Tucker, who left in the third quarter (left knee contusion). The closest Miami got was 17 points, but then Boston went on another run. The Celtics are 6.5-point favorites in Game 3. The over/under is 207.5. Also, we’ve got all the Warriors vs Mavericks details for game 3. Having trouble actually getting ESPN or TNT?
