ABC will host Wednesday’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics with tipoff set for 9 p.m. ET. The game will take place at TD Garden in Boston.
The Warriors got the split with a win in Game 2 and will now be looking to reclaim homecourt advantage. The Celtics have not lost back-to-back games this postseason and will be confident on their home floor tonight.
Role players Marcus Smart, Derrick White and Al Horford are the key for Boston after struggling in Game 2, while Klay Thompson looks to bounce back from a disastrous shooting performance Sunday. These two factors will likely determine the outcome of Game 3.

Where Do The Celtics Play?
—The Boston Celtics play their home games at TD Garden in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. They have been playing there since it opened its doors in 1995 as a replacement to the infamous Boston Garden. The Celtics share their home floor with the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL).
The Warriors and Celtics head to Boston for Game 3 with the NBA Finals tied at 1-1.
After the Celtics used a fourth quarter comeback to steal Game 1 on the road, the Warriors responded in dominating fashion to come away with a 19-point win in Game 2 to even the series.
Behind 29 points, six rebounds and four assists from superstar guard Stephen Curry, Golden State was able to crack Boston's stifling defense. Curry really caught fire during the Warriors' third quarter run that decided the game, sending Chase Center into a frenzy after burying a deep 3-pointer to emphasize how in rhythm he was.

As the 2022 NBA Finals head back to Boston for Game 6, the Celtics face a must-win situation against the Warriors.
After taking a 2-1 series lead, Boston has lost two consecutive games and now faces a 3-2 series deficit to Golden State, which is one win away from capturing its fourth NBA title in eight seasons and the seventh title in franchise history.
MORE: The Celtics are terrified of Stephen Curry even when he can't buy a basket
In Game 5, it was Andrew Wiggins who led the Warriors with 26 points and 13 rebounds while Stephen Curry had a relatively quiet night, failing to connect on a 3-pointer for the first time in his NBA Playoff career. With an opportunity to win an NBA title, it's hard to imagine Curry having yet another rough night, which could spell doom for Boston.
The Celtics are no strangers to playing under pressure — they're 3-0 when facing elimination in these playoffs (including two Game 7 wins) and their star duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have seen just about everything on the postseason stage during their young careers.
