Dwyane Wade had 23 points and seven rebounds and Joel Anthony added a double-double (12 points, 11 rebounds) but the Heat fell to the Celtics 97-81 in Game 3 Saturday night. LeBron James scored 15 points, and Mario Chalmers came off the bench for 17 points. This was a game begging for LBJ’s dominance, but he chose to lurk beneath the surface and serve primarily as a defensive specialist and distributor. The series continues Monday night in Boston.
