LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida: Getting big leads has been relatively easy for the Boston Celtics in these Eastern Conference finals. Jaylen Brown scored 26 points, Jayson Tatum added 25 and the Celtics got right back into the East finals with a 117-106 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 3 on Saturday night (early Sunday on Manila). Adebayo scored on the ensuing possession to get Miami within five and cap a 24-9 run, but the Heat got no closer. “This is the conference finals, playing against a really good team,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Heat: Even with the loss, Miami matched the best 12-game start to any postseason in team history — now 10-2.
