About this episode

John Karalis discusses key adjustments for the Boston Celtics in Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers, featuring interviews with players about their playoff mindset.

Boston Celtics eye Game 3 redemption as John Karalis of Celtics On SI breaks down three key adjustments that could swing the series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Should Jayson Tatum be used more as a screener or even slide into the five spot to disrupt Nick Nurse’s defensive schemes? Can the Celtics’ stars step up their execution and return to their potent ball movement—and will minor tweaks be enough to regain control? Interviews with Sam Hauser, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard reveal insights on offensive rhythm, shooting confidence, and how the team responds to hostile playoff crowds. Discussion highlights include Hauser’s mindset on clutch road moments, White’s thoughts on his NBA Sportsmanship Award, and the Celtics’ mentality approaching high-stakes road matchups. Don’t miss the latest playoff strategy talk and inside access from the heart of Locked On Celtics’ playoff run.
