"Six turnovers and no field goals in the second half, that is unacceptable," Tatum said of himself after Game 3.

The Celtics now trail the series 2-1, and the Heat can take a 3-1 lead in the series with a win in Game 4. 

Game 5 will be played in Florida, so the Heat can take total control of the series before returning home. 

The Heat won the first game of the series, but the Celtics absolutely blew out the Heat in Game 2 on the road.  

Therefore, their loss in Game 3 was a big surprise. 

Game 4 will be played back in Boston on Monday night, and the Celtics will have to do everything they can to get a win.
