The Boston Celtics brought the best version of their defense down to face the Miami Heat on their own home floor of Kaseya Center for Game 3, limiting the Heat to just 84 points scored in the game and shutting down their perimeter play.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast, Jake Issenberg, Ben Vallis, and Wayne Spooney, react to Jimmy Butler’s in-game comments about Boston, and look ahead to Game 4.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.
