Early in the first quarter the Cavs had a 12-11 lead. You’re asking, “why does this matter”? This matters because that was the last lead that the Cavaliers had. The Celtics went on a big run to finish the first quarter. That pretty much was the game. A pushing contest broke out between Larry Nance Jr. and Marcus Morris early in the second quarter. That shows you that the Celtics are frustrating the Cavaliers. If you remember back to game 2 Morris was seen yelling at Tristian Thomson after a foul.
The entire Celtics team gets super powers when they’re at home. They extended their playoff home winning streak to 10 games. Lebron really had no help, his biggest contributor was Kevin Love with 14 points. Everybody else was in single digits. Now the pressure is on Cleveland. Not only do they have to win 2 in a row, they will have to beat Boston in Boston game 7.
