Game 3 (first night in Cleveland)
Celtics’ play from the beginning was just so much more sustainable on both ends with those lineup changes.
LeBron got all star teammates and lost a home game with the other team missing their star player = NO HEART!!
11 points & 6 turnovers
Last time LeBron James played entire 4th quarter and didn't score at home......February 24, 2006 against Wizards
Cavaliers were 16.5 point favorites
---The upset is the largest upset in the NBA this season, largest in the last 20 postseasons
LeBron has taken 2 free throws in the final minute of a one-possession game this season......his career rate is ~17
Playoff Games With Fewer Than 15 points:
LeBron James: 6
Michael Jordon: 0
We've (still) never had two teams sweep their way to The Finals.
Simply put......the Celtics are a MUCH better defensive team with Isaiah Thomas OFF the court:
