3 keys to Boston Celtics beating the Miami Heat in Game 4

Well Boston Celtics fans, we find ourselves in a familiar hole.

The Celtics are down two games to one in a playoff series for the second consecutive series. First, it was against the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Eventually, the Celtics ended up winning that series in seven games, with an incredible Game 7 performance at home.

The Celtics lost Game 3, 109-103, and now they find themselves trailing in the Eastern Conference Finals two games to one.
