took turns stamping out any hint of Celtics momentum. Martin, who never stopped delivering for Miami, haunted Boston all series long.. “Especially after a game like that . We felt like we had momentum and an opportunity. The guys in the locker room, I believe, gave it their all. We gave it our all. This was a very hard series. To go down in the hole 3-0 in that way, there’s a lot that goes to it. It’s not only physical I feel like, it’s emotional. It’s very draining.
“This was one of the most together groups that we’ve had,” echoed Brown. “It sucks, right. Even in the moments where we went down 3-0, that group stayed together. And even in the midst of the game tonight where it was rough, this group was tremendously resilient.”Resilience was never the question. Before Monday, the Celtics made trudging through hell look comfortable. They lost Ime Udoka, their head coach, days before training camp but still won 57 regular-season games.
“That was terrible,” said Horford. “Losing those first two games at home just puts you in such a hole. It just changes everything.”
