D. The Celtics looked to do the same things they’d done so successfully through the first two games, but so much of what the Bucks were doing had changed.
<p>To put it simply, Boston didn’t have the answers and they visibly floundered. Not being prepared for the Thon Maker game isn’t completely inexcusable by any means, but the Celtics were made to resemble an entirely different team in Game 3.</p>
<p>Perhaps the various elements of a road playoff game played into that too for a young team, but it will be impossible to know that for sure until we see how Game 4 plays out on Sunday.</p>
<p>The one thing that seems guaranteed for that game is a fresh approach and new targets from Brad Stevens. The Celtics will change it up, the question will then be whether the Bucks can survive through that or make further tweaks of their own.</p>. Eastern Conference. Second seed. BOSTON CELTICS
