Boston Celtics: 3 keys to a series sweep over the Brooklyn Nets

Boston Celtics key to Victory No. 3) Keep the pressure on KD

It has been widely documented that this Eastern Conference Quarterfinals has proven to be the worst stretch of games in superstar wing, Kevin Durant’s career. While some give credit to the hungry and determined Boston Celtics defense, others such as Nets head coach, Steve Nash, have partially blamed it on the future Hall of Famer being exhausted.

Durant has had to carry the Brooklyn Nets down the stretch and the increased minutes have taken a toll on the two-time NBA Champion.

The game plan for Game 4 should be to key in on KD once again. Basketball is a game of runs, and each time number seven leads the Nets to a few buckets, the C’s must figure out a way to respond.

Expect Ime Udoka to continue to throw a variety of looks in Durant’s direction to attempt to deter the perennial All-Star as they’ve done the previous three contests.

It would not be surprising to also see Robert Williams III take a crack at covering Durant on the defensive end, as Udoka has supreme confidence in all of his guys to take on the near thirty-point scorer.
