The first two games of this series left little doubt that Boston was the better all-around team Anchored by Al Horford, the Celtics make so few mistakes on both ends of the floor as to leave no gaps for their opponents to exploit Most every rotation player – nearly all of whom are on rookie-scale or bargain contracts – has punched at or above his weight throughout the playoffs All five Boston starters are averaging double-digit points in this series, and the versatility of the Celtics’ roster has proved a difficult quality for Cleveland to overcome

But while the Celtics have been the better team thus far, Cleveland unquestionably has the best player in the series in LeBron James Even in losses, James has been dominant the last two games, averaging 28 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists for the series while shooting nearly 43 percent from 3-point range despite a lackluster Game 1 Kevin Love is playing his best basketball of the playoffs – 173 points, 123 rebounds and three assists per game – and the Cavaliers finally got some production from their role players in Game 3 Still, it has been James at the head of it all Even more so than in the regular season, virtually every set and every shot comes as a result of James’ playmaking, whether he’s the one finishing the play or not

The Celtics have made things more difficult on James than Toronto managed to in the second round Those previously uncontested forays into the paint must now go through thickets of arms and bodies Pinpoint passes to the perimeter must navigate more complex help positioning James already has twice as many turnovers through three games against Boston (16) than he did in four against the Raptors He will be the axis on which this series turns, as he nearly always is

Celtics vs Cavaliers: The Cleveland Cavaliers finally struck back and won a contest against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2018 NBA Playoffs. The Cavs are still down a game in the series, but have a chance to even things up at home in Game 4 this evening. Boston hasn’t been close to the same team on the road as it has at home during the playoffs, compiling a meager 1-5 record away from the TD Garden (where it is 9-0 so far this postseason). The C’s only road win came in overtime against the Philadelphia 76ers in the previous round. If they can overcome their road woes to notch a “W” on Monday night, the Celtics will have a shot at securing their first NBA Finals appearance since 2010 when they head home for Game 5

Oddsmakers aren’t giving Boston much of a chance on the road, however, opening the club as a large, seven-point underdog for Game 4. The Cavs easily covered the 6.5-point spread in Game 3, dominating from the opening tip to the final whistle to complete a 116-86 loss. Cleveland had its back to the wall for that matchup, needing to come up with a victory to avoid a dreaded 0-3 hole that would basically decide the series, given that no team in 130 tries has ever overcome that deficit in the history of the NBA Playoffs. With the series now at 2-1, Boston is still a slight favorite to clinch an improbable Finals berth at -130, while the Cavs are a minor underdog at +110.

Will the Cavskeep their foot on the gas and pull even in the ECF, or will the Celtics finally put their road woes behind them and get a much-needed away win this evening?
