Brooklyn - Boston 109: 103 (0: 3 to the Celtics).
Take out the broom?
As it stands now, Boston is at least one notch above Brooklyn, which may be trying, but failing to cope with the rival's efficiency.
The Celtics' path to the next round looks safe, as no team in NBA playoff history has returned from 3-0.
Given the lukewarm ability of the Nets stars, history will not do here.
Durant, who has not thrown once throughout most of the final quarter, and Kyrie Irving, who is busy with a lot of things but not in basketball, scored just 16 points each, with Bruce Brown leading the loser with 28 points.
On the other hand, Jason Taitum continues to be the series' MVP, this time with a career-high 39 points in the playoffs, alongside an iron defense that took the wind out of the opponent's sails.
Jaylen Brown added 23 points for Boston, who whenever Brooklyn came close, even to the point in the final quarter, knew how to open a safe margin - on the way to the sweep.

Utah - Dallas 99: 100 (2: 2).
Show Time!
A huge drama developed in Game 4 between the Jazz and the Mavericks and ended in a mini makeover and a winning basket taken from the All Star Games.
The spotlight in this game was stolen by Luka Doncic.
He returned from injury after missing out on the first three games in the series and everything was ready for a comeback from the movies.
In a close game, with 39 seconds left on the clock, the cold-blooded Slovenian buried a big three and gave Dallas a 95-99 lead.
He thus reached 30 points joined by 10 assists.
But the hostess had other plans, and her two stars teamed up to compare the series.
First it was Donovan Mitchell who scored a basket and squeezed an offense, which became another point from the penalty line.
Doncic is frustrated.
Gover spoiled his return,
The Mavericks, on the other hand, did not find the basket in their own attack, and then, on the clock 11 seconds to go - the turnaround came.
It was Mitchell, who finished the evening with 23 points, who tossed the ball to Rudy Gover, and the latter completed Halle Hop with 2 points and a basket of victory.
Gober finished the game with 17 points and 15 rebounds, including a show of strength that brings the series back to Dallas, for a particularly tense sequel.
