What channel is the nets game

The Boston Celtics have pushed a team with two future Hall of Famers and NBA title aspirations to the brink.

The Celtics own a 3-0 lead over the Brooklyn Nets in their first-round NBA playoff series. With a win in Monday night's Game 4 at the Barclays Center, Boston can end Brooklyn's season and advance to the second round to face the winner of the Bucks-Bulls series, where Milwaukee leads Chicago 3-1.

How did the Nets lose three in a row with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on their side? You can thank the Celtics' defense, which has done a tremendous job on Durant by holding him to just 19 made shots on 36.5% shooting with 17 turnovers over three games.

Boston survived Irving's 39-point outburst in Game 1 thanks to a Jayson Tatum layup at the buzzer and stifled Irving in Games 2 and 3, limiting him to 26 total points over those two contests. Durant and Irving combined for 32 points in Game 3, while Tatum poured in 39 by himself.

The Celtics have been the deeper team all series and got even deeper in Game 3 with the return of big man Robert Williams, who played 16 minutes in his first game since tearing his meniscus on March 27. As the C's aim to complete the series sweep in Game 4, they'll also look to integrate Williams into the lineup more.

No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit, but it will be interesting to see whether Brooklyn puts up a fight in this game or rolls over to allow Boston to advance.

The opening chapter of the much-anticipated first-round NBA playoff series between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets lived up to the hype and then some.

Game 1 on Sunday afternoon was an instant classic. A thrilling fourth quarter ended with one of the Celtics' best defensive possessions of the season and a game-winning layup by Jayson Tatum at the buzzer.

Boston led by 11 points entering the fourth quarter in Game 1, but the Nets stormed back, led by Kyrie Irving's 18 points in the quarter (39 overall). The Celtics' late-game execution was fantastic

If the Nets are going to tie the series Wednesday night in Game 2, they'll need a much better performance from Kevin Durant. The superstar forward scored 25 points on just 9-for-24 shooting in Game 1. The Nets were outscored by 13 points when Durant was on the court, and he also committed six turnovers. 

The Celtics also have plenty of room for improvement. Boston's bench was mostly a non-factor in the series opener as Brooklyn's reserves earned a 30-17 advantage in scoring. The Celtics also can improve defensively. They allowed the Nets to shoot 53.8 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from 3-point range. It's hard to win games when the opponent shoots that well from the floor, but the Celtics still found a way Sunday.

Will they take a 2-0 series lead, or will the Nets tie the series and steal homecourt advantage?

The Boston Celtics have the Brooklyn Nets on the brink of elimination.

After pulling off the first road win of the series on Saturday, defeating the Nets 109-103 in Brooklyn, the Celtics are one victory away from ending the Nets' season.

Jayson Tatum has been undeniable in this series, going for 39 points, six assists, six steals and five rebounds to lead Boston in Game 4.

That stat line put him in great company, joining Michael Jordan and Rick Barry as the only players in NBA history to post a 30-5-5-5 game.

The Celtics' defense is getting to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, keeping both stars in check over the last two games. Durant has been quiet the entire series, only averaging 22.0 points on 36.5 percent shooting from the field. After Irving's 39-point explosion in Game 1, he failed to eclipse the 20-point mark in Games 2 and 3.

Can the Nets turn things around and avoid a sweep? Or will the Celtics take care of business and advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals?
