Miami had four different players score at least 15 while Boston had none
The Heat just absolutely punked the Celtics in in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but it wasn’t a 48-minute beatdown like it might seem by the final score. Boston even had an early 12-9 lead, but 16-14 was their final lead in the game before Miami outscored them 114-86 over the final 43 minutes.
Good morning, I’m Josh Rosenblat. The NBA and NHL conference finals couldn’t be more different right now. The hardwood has provided snoozers, while all four NHL conference final games have gone to OT (though the Golden Knights and Panthers both hold 2–0 leads).

Melo’s video is one of the best ever.
Carmelo Anthony is saying goodbye to the NBA. On Monday the 10-time NBA All-Star, three-time Olympic gold medalist, and future Hall of Fame lock hung it all up by retiring — courtesy of one of the best retirement videos you’ll ever see.

It’s a sweeping ode to the game that changed his life, a career full of incredible memories, and an eye for the future — as Melo transitions from being basketball pro, to basketball dad.
Carmelo Anthony announced his retirement from the NBA after 19 seasons on Monday.
During his tenure in the league, Anthony received 10 NBA All-Star selections, won the scoring title in 2012-13 and was named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary team.
Anthony announced his retirement with a video posted on social media, including his highlights from his college and professional days with him discussing his career in the background.
“Now the time has come for me to say goodbye, to the court where I made my name, to the game that gave me purpose and pride,” Anthony said.
Glenn “Shemy” Schembechler apologized on Sunday for offensive social media activity which led to him stepping down as Michigan’s assistant director of football recruiting just three days after he was hired.
Schembechler’s Twitter account was deactivated over the weekend after users discovered he had “liked” various racist tweets, including some “suggesting slavery and Jim Crow had the positive effect of strengthening Black individuals and families,” per ESPN’s Heather Dinich.

This could be the first year in NBA history that both conference finals end in sweeps.
The 2023 NBA Playoffs have already been one of the strangest and most unique postseasons the sport has seen in recent memory.
We have already seen a team in the Sacramento Kings, who made the playoffs for the first time in almost two decades, take the defending champions Golden State Warriors to seven games. We then saw the team many left for dead in the Los Angeles Lakers dismantle them in round two. Then we saw probably the least hyped No.
Boo Bubba Wallace all you want, haters, but perhaps you should be booing whatever the hell that NASCAR “All-Star” race was we just watched.
There was one all-star at North Wilkesboro Sunday, and he ruined the party for the rest of us God-Fearin’ NASCAR fans.
Thanks, Kyle Larson!
Whoooooof. What a SNOOZER of a race to cap what really was an awesome weekend for the sport.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
Former Laker and NBA great Magic Johnson tended to hate the Boston Celtics during his illustrious playing career in which he led the Lakers to five NBA championships in 1980, ’82, ’85, ’87 and ’88. There were none sweeter than when Magic beat Larry Bird and the Celtics for titles in 1985 and ’87, avenging the NBA title loss to Boston in 1984.
But Johnson watching his former rival get embarrassed by Miami, 128-102, on Sunday night to fall behind, 3-0, in the NBA Eastern Conference finals hurt badly.
The NBA on TNT crew has been tremendous all postseason, and with the Miami Heat now a win away from ending the Eastern Conference finals, we are close to saying goodbye to Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley until next season.
The guys have been having fun being on location for the Heat-Celtics series, including Sunday night when Barkley had fans rolling with his brutally honest take on the struggling Celtics.
