Brown scored just 10 points – 13 below his average after two games in the series – and was in almost immediate foul trouble as the Cavs dominated while pulling within 2-1 in the series.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens may change his lineup for Monday’s Game 4, perhaps returning to center Aron Baynes and bringing Marcus Morris off the bench. Stevens has to do something to free up Al Horford [url=http://www.giantsfootballauthentic.com/patrick-omameh-jersey-authentic]Youth Patrick Omameh Jersey[/url] , who has been held in check by Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson the past two games.

You have to be able to do all the little things in order to have a chance.
The Cavs seized control from the opening tip in Game 3, bursting to a 20-4 lead and then clamping down defensively on the Celtics [url=http://www.patriotscheapstore.com/jason-mccourty-jersey-cheap]Jason McCourty Jersey Patriots[/url] , who didn’t get the open looks they enjoyed in Games 1 and 2.
And for a change, James had plenty of offensive help as Cleveland had six players in double figures. Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson had major contributions [url=http://www.raidersfootballauthentics.com/brandon-parker-jersey-authentic]Youth Brandon Parker Jersey[/url] , giving the Cavs a taste of what could lie ahead.
