"Celtics' Season on the Brink After Embarrassing Blowout by Heat"

The Boston Celtics are on the brink of elimination after a 128-102 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the NBA playoffs. Coach Joe Mazzulla took the blame for not having the team ready to play, but players also acknowledged their lack of urgency and defensive lapses. The Heat's Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo dominated, while the Celtics struggled to find their footing and their offensive structure. The Celtics are now down 0-3 in the series and facing a must-win Game 4.
