Malcolm Brogdon, Celtics focused on doing what no team in NBA history has done before

Malcolm Brogdon will have to be better - much better - in Game 4 on Tuesday. In Game 3, the league's Sixth Man of the Year was scoreless while missing all six of his shot attempts from the field.

MIAMI — The Celtics have played some of their best basketball when there was nowhere to go but up.

But never has this group been in a situation like this, having dropped all three games in the Eastern Conference finals to the Miami Heat who are now one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals.

Boston has presumably one more shot to save face and extend a series that up to this point, has been decisively lopsided.

The Celtics come into Game 4 looking to start down a path that no team has been able to fully come back from and move on to the next round of play.

No NBA team has ever rallied from a 3-0 series deficit to come back and win it.

That reality has not fractured the confidence of at least one prominent member of the Celtics rotation - Malcolm Brogdon.

He will be among the Celtics who will need to play significantly better than he did in Game 3.

In the Game 3 beatdown, Brogdon did not score a single point, missing all six of his shot attempts.

But his confidence in himself and the team, remains high.

“We still believe we’re the better team,” Brogdon said. “We have not played like it. But there’s always a first.”

Below is more from Brogdon talking about the Celtics and their one last stand in this series to keep their season alive for one more day.
