Boston came out in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals<\/u><\/a> and laid an egg, putting the Celtics in an 0-3 hole against the Miami Heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 128-102 loss was a listless performance, putting the Celtics one game away from elimination in the NBA playoffs<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the season teetering on the brink, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck<\/u><\/a> reportedly entered the postgame locker room and “went off” on the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PISTONS, MONTY WILLIAMS AGREE TO LARGEST COACHING DEAL IN NBA HISTORY: REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Grousbeck\u2019s message to the team was to “play with some balls,” leaving the locker room stunned, according to The Athletic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“(Grousbeck) was right, but we shouldn\u2019t need that,” Celtics forward Blake Griffin told The Athletic. “As soon as we got to the locker room, we were just so frustrated.”<\/p>\n

The message apparently did the trick, at least for the next three games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Celtics became just the fourth team in NBA history to force a Game 7 after falling down 0-3 in a series before their season came to a screeching halt<\/u><\/a> on Monday, losing to Miami 103-84 as the Heat advanced to the NBA Finals for the second time in four years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Boston managed to force a deciding game, their shooting failed them in the final two games of the series, combining for just 16 of 77 from the three-point line after finishing second in the NBA in three-pointers made per game during the regular season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a tumultuous year for the Celtics, who found themselves with their third coach in three years after Ime Udoka<\/u><\/a> was suspended for the 2022-23 season for “violations of team policies.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joe Mazzulla<\/u><\/a> was named the interim coach before having the interim tag removed in February and leading Boston back to the ECF.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Celtics now enter an offseason with a few hard decisions ahead of them, with Grant Williams set to enter restricted free agency and Jaylen Brown eligible for a supermax contract extension after being named second-team All-NBA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
