The Cavs come into Boston in complete control of this first round series with the Celtics, and I see no reason to expect Cleveland to suffer any sort of let down in Game 3. LeBron showed in Game 2 that he can still elevate his game to the next level when required, he scored 15 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Previous History - The Cavs are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games, and they are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 Conference Quarterfinals games.
2. LeBron James - The Celtics appear to have no answer for James, who's tallied 50 points in the first two games of this series. The Cavs were 1-1 at Boston during the regular season, and James did not play in the loss. He scored 41 points on 16-of-27 shooting in a win at Boston back in December.
3. X-Factor - The last time LeBron played a playoff game in Boston, he scored 45 points and pulled down 15 rebounds in Game 6 of the 2013 Eastern Conference Finals.
Selection: This is a play on the Cleveland Cavaliers 10*)
