Game 4 will be played at Barclays Center on Monday evening. 

If the Nets lose the series, not only will their players face the heat of the embarrassing loss, but head coach Steve Nash could easily find himself on the hot seat. 

As for the Celtics, they have had a remarkable turnaround from being a middle of the pack team for a lot of the season to now looking like a legitimate contender to win the Eastern Conference.
