C's Still Winless on Road

A 13-point first quarter for the Celtics -- their slowest start of the postseason -- put them into a double-digit hole that they couldn't climb out of as Boston lost Game 3 108-84 to the hometown Cavaliers.

Kevin Garnett led the Celts with 17 points and Paul Pierce added 14 along with five assists. Ray Allen chipped in 10 points. Leading the series 2-1, the Celtics will try for their first road win of the playoffs on Monday in Game 4. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. on TNT.

Man or Machine? You Decide...

KG is out there. He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until the Celtics raise Banner 17.
